What Is Dementia?

Dementia is a general term that describes impaired abilities related to the brain, memory and sensory organs. It’s a disability to think, remember, act or make decisions. Many misconceptions are related to this term. One of them is that it happens only to older people, and people only know Alzheimer’s disease. However, more such diseases come under dementia such as Lewy body dementia, vascular dementia, etc. Here are the signs of dementia for you to understand it better:

  • Memory loss
  • Behavioural changes
  • Lack of emotions or apathy
  • Visual hallucination
  • Lack of attention
  • Difficulties with judgements, decision making and reasoning
  • Communication issues and so on

Types of Dementia

Lewy Body Dementia (LBD)

Individuals may develop Lewy body dementia by increasing the amount of Lewy protein deposits in nerve cells that function your memory, rational thinking and moment. Its symptoms may include memory loss, confusion, visual hallucinations, dizziness, depression, lack of emotions, sleep disorder and related signs.

24/7 support

Subcortical Dementia

Subcortical dementia affects the brain part below the cortex causing changes in emotion and moments, and it may also cause slowness in thinking or difficulty starting an activity.

Frontotemporal Dementia

This type of dementia is caused by damage to nerve cells in the frontal and temporal parts of your brain. This brain part functions in your behaviour and personality traits. Therefore, people with Frontotemporal dementia may behave differently and embrace themselves and others at home, work or in social settings.

Vascular Dementia

This dementia occurs due to a lack of blood flow to the brain area. Strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol increase the risk of this type of dementia. The symptoms may include memory loss, confusion, trouble concentrating or understanding. These symptoms may worsen with strokes that damage small blood vessels.

safety

Mixed Dementia

As the name suggests, this is a combination of two or more types of dementia. The most common one is a combination of Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. The symptoms of this type show the signs of both dementia types. These can be tough to handle and often require specialized Dementia Care in Melbourne.

Alzheimer’s disease

This is the most common and widely known dementia type. Family history is the most common risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. The patient may have trouble remembering recent events, difficulty in walking, personality changes and more. If your loved one is going through this pain, getting aged care dementia services is necessary.

Apart from these, the other dementia types are –

  • Progressive Dementia – It gets worse with time
  • Reversible Dementia – It may happen due to side effects of medicines
  • Primary Dementia – It doesn’t occur as a side effect of other diseases
  • Secondly Dementia – Occurs due to other diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
