What are the most common types of dementia?
The most common types of dementia include:
- Alzheimer’s disease: The most prevalent form of dementia, marked by gradual memory loss, confusion and changes in thinking and behavior. It’s caused by abnormal protein buildup in the brain that disrupts cell function.
- Vascular dementia: Caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, often following a stroke or series of small strokes. Symptoms can include difficulty with problem-solving, slowed thinking and memory issues.
- Lewy body dementia: Associated with abnormal protein deposits called Lewy bodies in the brain. It can cause visual hallucinations, sleep disturbances, movement issues and fluctuations in attention or alertness.
- Frontotemporal dementia (FTD): A group of disorders caused by damage to the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. It often leads to personality changes, difficulty with language and impulsive behavior, usually at a younger age than other dementias.
Each type affects the brain differently and requires tailored approaches to care and support.
What are the stages of dementia?
Early (mild memory loss), middle (increased confusion and difficulty with tasks) and late (severe impairment and full-time care needed).
How do I care for loved ones with dementia?
