Symptoms of dementia
Dementia itself is not actually a disease. Instead it is a name used to describe a collection of symptoms that result from damage to the brain. These symptoms can be caused by a number of conditions and we have a series of articles about these conditions on our website.
These articles will be about the conditions that are under the dementia umbrella including;
- Alzheimer's Disease
- Dementia With Lewy Bodies
- Vascular Dementia
- Frontotemporal Dementia
We also have articles about the symptoms of the later stages of dementia and other issues that dementia can cause.
It is important to understand the disease that you have so that you can prepare for what may happen to you. Although it can be very difficult for doctors to diagnosed dementia in the early stages, it is important to know what may lay ahead.
Just remember, there is plenty of help out there for you so do please read our other articles on the help and support networks that are available to you. You do not have to suffer with dementia alone. The help and support you need is just a phone call away.
