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.
