Common Forms of Dementia

Dementia is not a disease in itself; it is a syndrome marked by a decline in cognitive function that goes beyond the normal effects of aging. The different types of dementia can be difficult to distinguish, and multiple forms may coexist. Common forms include:

  • Alzheimer’s Disease — accounts for 60%-70% of cases
  • Vascular Dementia — related to strokes or other conditions that damage blood vessels
  • Lewy Body Dementia — caused by abnormal clumps of protein inside neurons
  • Frontotemporal Dementia — linked to diseases that affect nerve cells in the frontal lobe
