Dementia is a description of the state of a person\u2019s mental function and not a specific disease. Dementia entails a decline in mental function from a previously higher level that\u2019s severe enough to interfere with daily living. A person with dementia has two or more of these specific difficulties, including a decline in: Memory. Reasoning. Language. Coordination. Mood. Behavior. Dementia develops when the parts of your brain involved with learning, memory, decision-making or language are affected by infections or diseases. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

But other known causes of dementia include: Vascular dementia. Dementia with Lewy bodies. Frontotemporal dementia. Mixed dementia. Dementia due to Parkinson\u2019s disease. Dementia-like conditions due to reversible causes, such as medication side effects or thyroid problems.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference between dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s disease?<\/p>\n

Dementia is a description of the state of a person\u2019s mental function and not a specific disease. Dementia is an \u201cumbrella category\u201d describing mental decline that\u2019s severe enough to interfere with daily living.<\/p>\n

There are many underlying causes of dementia, including Alzheimer\u2019s disease and Parkinson\u2019s disease. Alzheimer\u2019s disease is the most common underlying cause of dementia.<\/p>\n

Who gets dementia? Dementia is considered a late-life disease because it tends to develop mostly in people who are older. About 5% to 8% of all people over the age of 65 have some form of dementia, and this number doubles every five years above that age. It\u2019s estimated that as many as half of people 85 years of age and older have dementia. The number of people age 65 and older who have Alzheimer\u2019s disease and related dementias by race is: Blacks: 14%, Hispanics: 12%, Non-Hispanic whites: 10%, American Indian and Alaska Natives: 9%, Asian and Pacific Islanders: 8%.<\/p>\n

How common is dementia? The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that 5 million U.S. adults age 65 or older have Alzheimer\u2019s and related dementia. By 2060, the CDC projects that about 14 million people will have dementia, which is about 3.3% of the population. Alzheimer\u2019s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. and the fifth leading cause of death in Americans age 65 and older.<\/p>\n

Does memory loss mean dementia is starting? One common misbelief about memory loss is that it always means you or a loved one has dementia. There are many causes of memory loss. Memory loss alone doesn\u2019t necessarily confirm a diagnosis of dementia. It\u2019s also true that some memory changes are normal as a person ages (some neurons in your brain naturally die as we age). However, this type of memory loss isn\u2019t functionally disabling; meaning, it doesn\u2019t interfere with daily life.<\/p>\n

Dementia interferes with your ability to function. Dementia isn\u2019t forgetting where you left your keys. A person with dementia can have situations like forgetting what keys are used for. Dementia isn\u2019t a normal part of aging.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Are there different types of dementia? Dementias can be divided into three groups: Primary (diseases and conditions in which dementia is the main illness). Secondary (dementia due to another disease or condition). Reversible dementia-like symptoms caused by other illnesses or causes.<\/p>\n

Primary dementia: Types of primary dementia include: Alzheimer\u2019s disease: This is the most common type of dementia. Two abnormal proteins build up in your brain: tau and amyloid proteins. These proteins disrupt communication between nerve cells in your brain. Nerve cells die, starting in one area and spreading as more nerve cells die in other areas. Symptoms include short-term memory loss, confusion, personality and behavior changes. Trouble talking, remembering distant memories and issues with walking happen later in the disease. Alzheimer\u2019s disease mainly affects adults who are older \u2014 up to 10% of those over age 65 and about 50% of people older than 85 have the disease. Family history is an important risk factor. Approximately 60% to 80% of people with dementia have this type.<\/p>\n

Vascular dementia: This is the second most common type of dementia. It\u2019s caused by conditions such as strokes or atherosclerosis, which block and damage blood vessels in your brain. Symptoms include memory problems, confusion and trouble concentrating and completing tasks. The decline may appear suddenly (following a major stroke) or in steps (following a series of mini strokes). Risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol levels. About 15% to 25% of people with dementia have vascular dementia.<\/p>\n

Lewy body dementia: This condition involves the buildup of clumps of proteins \u2014 called Lewy bodies \u2014 in your brain\u2019s nerve cells. Lewy bodies damage nerve cells. Symptoms include movement and balance problems, changes in sleep patterns, memory loss, planning and problem-solving difficulties, and visual hallucinations and delusions. About 5% to 10% of dementias are Lewy Body dementia.<\/p>\n

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD): This dementia results from damage to the frontal and temporal lobes of your brain. The damage is caused by the buildup of abnormal proteins in these areas. It causes changes in social behavior, personality, and\/or loss of language skills (speaking, understanding or forgetting the meaning of common words) or motor coordination. FTD is a common cause of early dementia, often occurring in people between the ages of 45 and 64. Between 5% and 6% of all dementias are FTD.<\/p>\n

Mixed dementia: This is a combination of two or more types of dementia. The most common combination is Alzheimer\u2019s disease with vascular dementia. It\u2019s most common in people 80 years of age and over. It\u2019s often hard to diagnose because symptoms of one dementia may be more obvious and\/or many symptoms of each type overlap. The decline is faster in people who have mixed dementia compared with those who only have one type.<\/p>\n

Symptoms and Causes: What are the symptoms of dementia?<\/p>\n

Early symptoms of dementia include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Forgetting recent events or information.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Repeating comments or questions over a very short period.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Misplacing commonly used items or placing them in unusual spots.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Not knowing the season, year or month.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Having difficulty coming up with the right words.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Experiencing a change in mood, behavior or interests.<\/p>\n

Signs that dementia is getting worse include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Your ability to remember and make decisions further declines.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Talking and finding the right words becomes more difficult.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Daily complex tasks, such as brushing your teeth, making a cup of coffee, working a TV remote, cooking and paying bills become more challenging.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Lessening of rational thinking and behavior and your ability to problem-solve.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sleeping pattern changes.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Increases or worsening of anxiety, frustration, confusion, agitation, suspiciousness, sadness and\/or depression.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Needing more help with activities of daily living, such as grooming, toileting, bathing and eating.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Experiencing hallucinations (seeing people or objects that aren\u2019t there).<\/p>\n

These symptoms are general symptoms of dementia. Each person diagnosed with dementia has different symptoms, depending on what area of their brain is damaged. Additional symptoms and\/or unique symptoms occur with specific types of dementia.<\/p>\n

What are the causes of dementia? Dementia is caused by damage to your brain. Dementia affects your brain\u2019s nerve cells, which destroys your brain\u2019s ability to communicate with its various areas. Dementia can also result from blocked blood flow to your brain, depriving it of needed oxygen and nutrients. Without oxygen and nutrients, brain tissue dies.<\/p>\n

Damage to your brain results in different symptoms, depending on the area of your brain affected. Some dementias aren\u2019t reversible and will worsen over time. Other dementias are due to other medical conditions that also affect your brain. Another group of health issues can result in dementia-like symptoms. Many of these conditions are treatable, and the dementia symptoms are reversible.<\/p>\n
