Dementia And Alzheimer's
There are different diagnoses for dementia and Alzheimer's disease is the most significant form of this neurological disorder. We can classify dementia as being a collective set of the same symptoms that are found in dementia.
The main symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer's disease are amnesia, aphasia, agraphia, and acaluculei. A person suffering from this disorder can demonstrate very severe behavioral and mental problems and often will lose their time orientation and understanding of place and space.
The way that the condition dementia and Alzheimer's disease is diagnosed is if the individual exhibits two of these symptoms.
Discovering the type of dementia that a person has highly depends on certain factors. Currently, there are four different types of dementia that can be determined by symptoms. Alzheimer's disease is the number one diagnosis that makes up for about seventy percent of patients who are suffering from this disorder.
The second diagnosis is called dementia and is generally caused by several strokes within the blood vessels in the brain.
The third diagnosis is called Lewy Body dementia and the last of the four types is classified in the group called "others".
The cause of dementia and Alzheimer's disease is a series of neurological tangles within the brain that causes interruption of normal cognitive functioning and will consequently result in the symptoms mentioned above.
The disease of dementia and Alzheimer's is progressive, so a patient with this disorder may have had several minor strokes that created these tangles in their cognitive functioning, also called vascular dementia, which ultimately results in the disease of dementia.
Symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer's disease are typically progressive over a long period of time. Patients will experience memory loss and confusion with time orientation, people, places, events and collective memories in their lives.
Currently, there is no cure for this disorder, and loved ones and family members of patients with dementia and Alzheimer's disease are often frustrated and saddened by the consequences of this neurological degeneration experienced by their loved ones.
In the case of Lewy Body dementia, the patient will have strange cells within their brain which will cause the same symptoms found in dementia and Alzheimer's patients, but it is a completely different classification of dementia.
If you have a loved one or family member who suffers from dementia and Alzheimer's disease, having a support group to go to or doing research on the disorder can assist you in understanding and coping with the problems that are related to the disease.
