What is dementia?
Dementia is a problem in the brain that makes it hard for a person to remember, learn and communicate. After a while, this makes it hard for the person to take care of himself or herself.

Dementia may also change a person's mood and personality. At first, memory loss and trouble thinking clearly may bother the person who has dementia. Later, disruptive behavior and other problems may start. The person who has dementia may not be aware of these problems.



What causes dementia?
Dementia is caused by the destruction of brain cells. A head injury, a stroke, a brain tumor or a problem like Alzheimer's disease can damage brain cells. Some people have a family history of dementia.

What are some common signs of dementia?
Dementia causes many problems for the person who has it and for the person's family. Many of the problems are caused by memory loss. Some common signs of dementia are listed below. Not everyone who has dementia will have all of these signs.

Recent memory loss. All of us forget things for a while and then remember them later. People with dementia often forget things, but they never remember them. They might ask you the same question over and over, each time forgetting that you've already given them the answer. They won't even remember that they already asked the question.
Difficulty performing familiar tasks. People who have dementia might cook a meal but forget to serve it. They might even forget that they cooked it.
Problems with language. People who have dementia may forget simple words or use the wrong words. This makes it hard to understand what they want.
Time and place disorientation. People who have dementia may get lost on their own street. They may forget how they got to a certain place and how to get back home.
Poor judgment. Even a person who doesn't have dementia might get distracted. But people who have dementia can forget simple things, like forgetting to put on a coat before going out in cold weather.
Problems with abstract thinking. Anybody might have trouble balancing a checkbook, but people who have dementia may forget what the numbers are and what has to be done with them.
Misplacing things. People who have dementia may put things in the wrong places. They might put an iron in the freezer or a wristwatch in the sugar bowl. Then they can't find these things later.
Changes in mood. Everyone is moody at times, but people with dementia may have fast mood swings, going from calm to tears to anger in a few minutes.
Personality changes. People who have dementia may have drastic changes in personality. They might become irritable, suspicious or fearful.
Loss of initiative. People who have dementia may become passive. They might not want to go places or see other people.


What if I have any of these signs of dementia?
Talk with your doctor. Your doctor can do tests to find out if your signs are caused by dementia. The sooner you know, the sooner you can talk to your doctor about treatment options.


What if a family member has signs of dementia?
If your family member has some of the signs of dementia, try to get him or her to go see a doctor. You may want to go along and talk with the doctor before your relative sees him or her. Then you can tell the doctor about the way your relative is acting without embarrassing your relative.

Lewy Syndrome
Lewy body formation is central to the pathological phenotype of a spectrum of disorders. The most familiar of these is the extrapyramidal syndrome of idiopathic Lewy-body Parkinson's disease (PD). Studies of dementia in the elderly suggest that another manifestation of Lewy body pathology is equally or more common than Parkinson's disease. This syndrome of Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) has been given a number of diagnostic labels and is characterised by dementia, relatively mild parkinsonism, visual hallucinations, and fluctuations in conscious level. Although many of these features can arise in Parkinson's disease, the patients with DLB tend to have early neuropsychiatric features which predominate the clinical picture, and the diagnosis of the syndrome in practice is more concerned with the differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Distinction from AD has clinical importance because of potentially differing therapeutic implications. Diagnostic guidelines for the clinical diagnosis and pathological evaluation of DLB are reviewed. Research into the disorder has centered around characterising the clinical, neuropsychological, pathological, neurochemical and genetic relationships with Alzheimer's disease on the one hand, and Parkinson's disease on the other. Many cases of DLB have prominent pathological features of AD and there are some shared genetic risk factors. Differences from the pathology of PD are predominantly quantitative rather than qualitative and evidence is discussed which suggests that DLB represents a clinicopathological syndrome within the spectrum of Lewy body disorders. The possibility that the syndrome represents a chance association of PD and AD is not supported by published studies.

Answer 2

It is caused by little strokes. These little strokes cause memory loss, ability to do things, speech. although these strokes aren't as serve as normal strokes but it is very frustrating. It is a type of Alzheimer's it is usually associated with old age but not always. Strokes can be caused by high blood pressure and little blood vessels known as capillaries burst.
It is a horrible disease and affects mood you are very anxious about everything.

Tells you the symptoms in detail and very informative. This is a form of dementia often misdiagnosed as either Parkinson's or Alzheimer's as they are very similar and difficult to diagnose.

Answer 4

Thyroid disease is one of the most common health problems we face today. From a practical standpoint, there are many ways to approach this issue. Learn here https://tr.im/NbCN1

Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a very common problem, and there are many reasons for this, including drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water, and eating brominated flour.

Chlorine, fluoride, and bromine are all in the same family as iodine, and can displace iodine in your thyroid gland.

Secondly, many people simply aren't getting enough iodine in their diet to begin with. The amount you get from iodized salt is just barely enough to prevent you from getting a goiter.
