Dementia means 'moving away from a normal mind' and refers to the decline of memory, reasoning, thinking, and mental functions.

This special lecture will be conducted by Professor Kim Tae-jun of the Department of Social Welfare at Busan Digital University, focusing on the causes, treatment, and coping methods of dementia for a healthy old age. It will cover the causes and symptoms of dementia, its progression, dementia prevention rules through self-diagnosis, and exercise methods.

Library Director Ko Ye-dam said, "I hope this special lecture will serve as an opportunity for the elderly to understand that dementia can happen to anyone and to recognize the importance of prevention."

Cheongdo-myeon Mayor Park Hwa-seon said, "I am grateful to the Forest Village Small Library for providing valuable time for the residents," and added, "We will do our best to support the elderly so that they can prevent dementia and live healthily."
