A "demented" person would likely be someone just going 
through the motions of existence.  If he is in bad enough shape, 
he might be in a hospital staring into space.  Whatever he had 
that makes him truly alive is gone.  Think of someone who has 
sunk into a permanent state of depression.  Depression is what 
Rowling had in mind when she invented the dementors.
