Understanding Dementia!

A general term for the loss of cognition that is severe enough to cause disruption of daily life, dementia describes the following: Disabilities in judgement, language, thinking, and memory. Not an illness in itself, dementia is a symptom cluster that can result from several disorders, including Alzheimer ’s disease, vascular dementia, and more.

Different types of Dementia

Dementia is divided into several categories. Each category has its own symptoms and progression patterns.

  • Usually defined as the loss of memory and disorientation, dementia most common is Alzheimer’s dementia.
  • Vascular dementia is caused by reduced blood supply to the brain (slowing up judgement, planning and reasoning).
  • Relentless deposits of protein in the brain which impair movement and thinking are hallmarks of Lewy body dementia.
  • Neurodegenerative diseases Frontotemporal dementia affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, affecting language, behaviour and personality.

It’s very important to find the right treatment and each type of dementia needs a specific approach to care and management. At Arrow multispeciality hospital, the Dementia treatment in Coimbatore is completely comprehensive and handled with patient centric approach.
