Dementia is not a single disease but a general term describing a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of cases.
The most common cause of dementia. It is a progressive brain disorder that typically begins with memory and thinking difficulties and can gradually affect language, judgment, orientation, and daily functioning.
Dementia caused by damage to brain tissue from reduced blood flow, stroke, or small-vessel disease. Symptoms may include problems with planning, attention, processing speed, and sometimes memory.
A group of disorders involving degeneration of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Early symptoms may primarily affect personality, behavior, judgment, or language rather than memory.
A neurodegenerative form of dementia associated with abnormal deposits of alpha-synuclein called Lewy bodies. It may cause fluctuations in attention, visual hallucinations, movement symptoms, and REM sleep behavior disorder.
Cognitive impairment that develops in a person with established Parkinson’s disease. Changes may affect attention, executive function, visuospatial abilities, memory, and thinking speed.
A condition in which more than one type of brain disease contributes to cognitive decline. Alzheimer’s disease and vascular brain disease are a common combination.
Dementia that begins before the age of 65. It can have many different causes, including Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, vascular disease, genetic conditions, and other neurological disorders.
Alzheimer’s disease that develops before age 65. Symptoms may initially involve memory, language, problem-solving, or visuospatial abilities, and some cases have a strong genetic component.
A neurodegenerative syndrome that primarily affects visual processing and other posterior brain functions. People may have difficulty interpreting what they see even when their eyesight itself is relatively preserved.
A form of frontotemporal degeneration in which language abilities progressively decline. Depending on the subtype, a person may have increasing difficulty finding words, understanding language, or producing meaningful speech.
A potentially treatable condition involving abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid. It can cause a combination of walking difficulties, cognitive changes, and urinary problems.
A genetic neurodegenerative disorder that can cause progressive movement abnormalities, behavioral changes, and cognitive decline. It is caused by an inherited change in the HTT gene.
Cognitive and neurological problems associated with HIV infection. Symptoms can involve slowed thinking, attention difficulties, memory problems, and changes in motor function.
A rare group of rapidly progressive neurological disorders caused by abnormal proteins called prions. They can produce rapidly worsening cognitive, movement, and neurological symptoms.
Long-term heavy alcohol exposure can damage the brain and contribute to persistent problems with memory, learning, executive function, and coordination.
Repeated or significant traumatic brain injuries can cause long-term neurological changes and may contribute to progressive cognitive, behavioral, and movement difficulties.
Some rare forms of dementia are associated with inherited genetic variants. Genetic counseling and testing may be considered when there is a strong family history or an unusually early age of onset.
Some conditions can cause significant cognitive impairment without being a primary neurodegenerative dementia. Examples include certain vitamin deficiencies, thyroid disorders, medication effects, depression, sleep disorders, and other medical conditions.
Early recognition and prompt medical attention are crucial for optimal outcomes.
Forgetting recently learned information, important dates, or repeatedly asking the same questions.
Difficulty solving problems, planning, completing familiar tasks, or understanding visual information.
Trouble with vocabulary, following conversations, or finding the right words.
Withdrawal from social activities, mood changes, personality shifts, and poor judgment.
Cognitive decline and memory issues require comprehensive medical evaluation and specialized care planning.
