Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Mrs. Jones was suffering from a progressive decrease in mental stability for the past five or six years. Her medical examination reported a low IQ (intelligence quotient) level than the normal level. A CT (computed tomography) scan showed a diffused cerebral atrophy, for which the doctor prescribed her a mild tranquilizer. Determine the condition leading to a progressive decline of mental stability of Mrs. Jones.

With age, the brain degenerates due to the decline in the number of neurons, an imbalance of any nutrient or chemical, or may be due to some injury.
