Dementia is a general term for cognitive decline caused by damage to the brain. There are several different types, each with their own symptoms and disease progression.
The most common cause of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease leads to memory loss and confusion as well as changes in behavior and personality. It results from abnormal protein deposits in the brain.
Caused by reduced blood flow to the brain from stroke or blood vessel damage. It leads to issues with problem-solving, focus and reasoning.
Abnormal protein deposits form “Lewy bodies” in the brain, leading to movement issues, visual hallucinations and fluctuating cognition.
