Understanding Dementia

Dementia is an umbrella term for a range of cognitive impairments that significantly affect daily functioning. It impacts memory, thinking, and social abilities, making it difficult for individuals to perform everyday activities. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, but other forms include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia.

Types of Dementia

• Alzheimer’s Disease: The most prevalent form of dementia, characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive decline.
• Vascular Dementia: Results from reduced blood flow to the brain, often following a stroke or other vascular conditions, leading to cognitive impairment.
• Lewy Body Dementia: Associated with abnormal protein deposits in the brain, causing symptoms such as fluctuations in cognition, visual hallucinations, and movement disorders.
• Frontotemporal Dementia: Affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain and leads to changes in personality, behavior, and language skills.
