Dementia is not a disease; dementia is the term given to a group of symptoms caused when the brain is damaged by diseases such as Alzheimer’s or a series of strokes. These symptoms often include memory loss, difficulties with thinking, problem solving or language and a person with dementia may also experience changes in their mood or behaviour. The specific symptoms that a person will experience will depend on the parts of the brain that have been damaged and the disease causing the dementia.

The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, however there are other causes including:

• Vascular dementia is when a lack of oxygen to the brain causes nerve cells to die. This can be the result of a stroke, a series of mini strokes or a disease of the small blood vessels.
• Dementia with Lewy bodies is when abnormal structures form in the brain and cause the death of nerve cells.
• Mixed dementia is having more than one type of dementia with a mix of different symptoms
• Frontotemporal dementia is the formation of clumps of abnormal proteins in the front and sides of the brain causing the death of nerve cells.
• Unfortunately, dementia is progressive meaning that it will worsen over time.
