1. Revealing the Various Types
of Dementia

2. As one advances in age, the brain becomes
vulnerable to various diseases and symptoms. Most
of these changes in brain function possess severe
consequences. Typically, Dementia incapacitates
patients through reduced mobility, deteriorating
brain coordination and chronic memory loss.

3. According to experts, Dementia's
destructive force affects the
decision-making, language and
memory segments of the brain.
This observation accounts for the
complete and non-reversible
behavioral change in patients.
The causal agents are typically associated with
hormonal changes and imbalance of advanced age.
However, lifestyle patterns such as alcoholism and
drug abuse have been observed to cause Dementia
and related syndromes.

4. The Alzheimer's accounts for almost two-thirds of all
Dementia diagnosis cases. Early patient's symptoms include
forgetfulness of conversations, events, and names.
Symptoms get worse, depression, confusion, disorientation,
poor communication and judgment set in. Nerve cells in the
brain suffer from damage and in isolated cases, parts of the
brain die.
Alzheimer's Disease

5. Eventually, it erodes the ability of victims to have a
verbal exchange, walk or feed. Recently, medical
experts and researchers concluded that Alzheimer's
begins much earlier than symptoms manifest
themselves. It's therefore classified as a progressive
brain disorder.

6. Parkinson's possesses a continuous pattern of inhibited
mobility. Nerve cells that produce dopamine deep in the
brain cause the formation of lumps. These lumps paralyze
cell activity and function.
Parkinson's Disease

7. This rather rare type manifests itself primarily through
impaired decision making and judgment. Experts associate
it with common brain injuries from accidents such as
blockage of blood vessels and internal bleeding within the
brain.
The extent or severity of the injury or damage within the
brain affects decision making and physical activity on
different levels. Brain imaging technology can adequately
diagnose the symptoms of Vascular Dementia.
Vascular Dementia

8. This category explains instances where two or more types
of Dementia manifest themselves in one patient. The
outcome of diagnosis reveals the simultaneous existence of
a host of symptoms and abnormalities. During diagnosis,
doctors have been very careful not to summarize the
evidence as one type of Dementia.
Mixed Dementia

9. As the title suggests, it erodes the capacity of the front part
of the brain taking away one's personality sensors and
behavior. Abnormalities in prion protein in the brain spread
out leading to major brain malfunction. The severity of this
strain shortens the life of patients. FTD also affects people
at a younger age the other types.
Frontotemporal Dementia

10. Huntington's Disease: Caused by the defective gene types
on chromosome 4. It leads to the progressive deterioration
of thinking capacity, involuntary body movement. Severe
mood changes and depression can also be witnessed.
Other minor and rare forms of Dementia
include

11. Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: Characterized by the
memory loss, impairment of mobility and the inability to
control urine and bowel activity. Causal factors include
the buildup of brain fluids. Routine surgical procedures
help to rehabilitate the abnormality. In this case, a
drainage feature is installed in the patient's brain.
