What a thorough overview of the different types of dementia! Thank you for sharing this information to help families best recognize symptoms and get help for their loved ones.

My Dad has been diagnosed with Vascular dementia. I do not see any of the various types that really fit his condition. He is bed ridden. He still feeds himself but it is a challenge. We feed him sometimes. He can brush his teeth, and sometimes can use the TV remote but struggles with that at times. We are unsure if he is properly diagnosed based on the loss of strengh and muscle weakness.

I have discovered that medical personnel in care facilities seem to have difficulty acknowledging openly to family members that their loved one has dementia.

Address solvent dementia.

It opened up a whole new understanding of my Partner's illness. I was seeing all of the things talked about in these articles and gives me a better understand as to what to ask the doctor about when we see him next. Both the Parkinson and the General doctors.

As a Healthcare Provider, it would be WONDERFUL to hear how the brain has the ability to heal as well as all of the "STUFF" that one MAY develop.
I would so enjoy the emphasis to be put on preventive measures equally.

I have read in here how syarcism is a sign of Dementia.
Guess I have had dementia since I could talk?
I also laugh a lot.

An excellent article, of great reliability.

I understand that there are more than 50 types of dementia. This article is a great summary of the most common.

This article was informative, however there was no mention of Korsadoff Syndrome and Wernicke encephalopathy. My wife was diagnose with this at age 60 in 2008 and has been an ALF memory care unit ever since.

It helped me to understand it better I know alot about it but my sister doesn't and has no patients with my mom
