Overview

What is Dementia?

Dementia is not a single disease but a group of conditions caused by damage to brain cells that affects memory, reasoning, language, and behavior. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause, but dementia can also result from vascular changes, Lewy body disease, and other neurological conditions. 

As brain function declines, patients may experience difficulty with memory, decision-making, and daily tasks.

Alzheimer's Disease
The most common form of dementia, developing gradually and primarily affecting memory, language, and reasoning over time.
Vascular Dementia
Caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, often following a stroke or due to long-term small vessel damage, leading to problems with planning and judgment.
Lewy Body Dementia
Characterized by memory loss along with visual hallucinations, movement difficulties, and fluctuations in alertness.
Mixed Dementia
A combination of two or more types of dementia, most commonly Alzheimer's disease occurring together with vascular changes.

Neurological and Cognitive Examination
Assessment of memory, attention, language, and problem-solving skills using standardized cognitive tests.
3
