Understanding Dementia

Golden underline

Dementia is a broad term for cognitive impairments affecting memory, thinking, and daily activities. It is progressive, meaning it worsens over time, though it is not a normal part of aging. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 60-80% of dementia cases, while other types include Vascular Dementia, Lewy Body Dementia, and Frontotemporal Dementia. Some conditions, such as thyroid issues and vitamin deficiencies, can cause reversible symptoms.

Difficulty with problem-solving
and complex tasks

behavior or withdrawal

Repetition of questions or conversations

Types of Dementia

Alzheimer's Icon

The most common form of dementia, Alzheimer’s is characterized by the buildup of plaques and tangles in the brain. Symptoms include gradual memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with decision-making and communication. It progresses over time, impacting daily tasks and personal independence.

Vascular Dementia

Caused by impaired blood flow to the brain, often due to strokes or blocked arteries. This type results in cognitive decline related to reasoning, planning, judgment, and memory. Vascular dementia can progress suddenly after a stroke or gradually as blood flow decreases.

Lewy Body Dementia

This type is linked to abnormal protein deposits called Lewy bodies in the brain. It often causes hallucinations, movement issues similar to Parkinson’s disease, and problems with attention and sleep. Memory issues are also common, though they tend to be less prominent in early stages than in Alzheimer’s.

Lewy Body Dementia

FTD primarily affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, leading to changes in personality, behavior, and language. Memory is less affected initially, but people may exhibit inappropriate behavior, emotional flatness, or apathy, making social interactions challenging.
