Can isolation cause “Dementia” much the same way as in the Tom Hanks movie “Castaway”?

if i remember right the storyline in the movie was Tom Hanks crashing a Fed EX plane onto a deserted island and he was able to survive on this island for 10 years? and during that time he slowly became “Demented” ? was this due to his isolation? and WHAT IS DEMENTIA? WHAT PEOPLE BECOME LIKE DURING IT? and was the case with Tom Hanks a good description of what a person with dementia becomes like ? and why, how isolation or what causes this? (even at ANY age?) also, why do older people get this often times?

please describe, explain what you can

thanks for your answers!
ALSO, IS THERE ANY CURE FOR “DEMENTIA”? IF SO, WHAT? HOW IT IS?

HOW WAS TOM HANKS CURED IN THE MOVIE? AND WHY?

I am not sure about Dementia in particular, but isolation does often cause mental illness is people; especially hallucinations. I can’t remember why though…

Those afflicted with Dementia often lose the ability to recall certain details and begin to lose the ability to learn, reason, feel (emotionally) and, in the later years, some patients have simply forgotten how to preform once automatic skills, like breathing. Some with dementia also experience depression, anxiety, delusions and become agitated.

I don’t know what exactly causes Dementia, but I do believe that it might be from an accumulation of some chemical in your brain. Dementia can also be experienced from severe head trauma.

Although I haven’t seen ‘Castaway’, I don’t think Dementia would be the appropriate condition…from what I have heard, he doesn’t suit all the typical symptoms for Dementia…perhaps another condition, such as Psychosis, might be more appropriate; however I am not sure as I haven’t seen the movie.

Sorry I could not answer all of your questions

EDIT: No, there is no cure for Dementia that I am aware of it.

Once again, I cannot answer how Hanks was cured in the movie, as I did not watch it.

Cast Away is a good movie that wants to be much better. While director Robert Zemeckis’s earlier film Contact achieved a kind of mainstream spiritual significance, Cast Away falls just short of that goal. That may explain why the film’s most emotionally powerful scene involves the loss of an inanimate object, even as it presents a heart-rending dilemma in its very human final act. It’s three mov…
