Understanding Dementia and Cognitive Decline
Dementia is a term used to describe conditions that disrupt the brain’s memory and thinking functions. It encompasses various brain conditions that lead to a decline in mental abilities. Dementia is progressive and, if untreated, can result in the loss of a person’s ability to remember, think, reason, and perform daily activities independently.
Types of Dementia We Assess
Alzheimer’s Disease : The most common form, characterized by gradual cognitive decline
Lewy Body Dementia : Involves abnormal protein deposits in the brain, leading to symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease
Vascular Dementia : Caused by cardiovascular issues that impair blood flow to the brain
Frontotemporal Dementia : Affects the frontal lobes, often causing significant personality changes and cognitive difficulties
