Although Alzheimer's disease is the most common dementia, other common types of dementia are Vascular dementia, Lewy Bodies dementia and Frontotemporal dementia. Clinically significant differences can be observed between these types of dementia. In this way, an idea can be made about which type of dementia you are facing:<\/p>\n

Vascular Dementia:<\/em><\/strong> It is a type of dementia caused by damage to the blood vessels in the brain due to improper blood flow. It is the most common type after Alzheimer's. Its effect may vary depending on the size of the blocked vessel. The damage caused by a blockage in a large vessel will cause sudden and large-scale cognitive impairment. If small-scale but numerous infarcts occur in the brain, a cognitive impairment that extends over time may be observed. The most common problems observed in multiple small vessel injuries are problems such as impaired planning, perception and focus problems, uncontrolled laughing or crying, and impaired skills such as finding the right words. In case of large vessel damage, more serious problems such as hemiplegia and hemiparesis may occur after stroke and paralysis.<\/p>\n

Dementia with Lewy Bodies<\/em>:<\/strong> It generally has a course that extends over a longer period of time and a stable cognitive impairment that persists over a long period of time is observed. Visual hallucinations, motor disorders such as Parkinson's disease, and attention deficit are the most common symptoms.<\/p>\n

Frontotemporal Dementia:<\/em><\/strong> It is observed at younger ages, mostly between the ages of 40-69. It is seen that the person exhibits behavioral disorders rather than memory and recall problems. Personality changes show characteristics such as speaking whatever comes to mind, behaving inappropriately, and not being empathetic towards others (apathy).<\/p>\n

Alzheimer's<\/em><\/strong>When examined in terms of incidence, it is seen in more than 20 million people in the world. A neurodegenerative disease with such a high incidence naturally poses a serious problem both in terms of health and socio-economic aspects. If you want, let's examine Alzheimer's disease in more depth:<\/p>\n
