Common symptoms include:<br \/>i. Memory Loss<br \/>ii. Confusion<br \/>iii. Difficulty in communicating<br \/>iv. Anxiety<\/li><br>\n<li>Vascular DementiaAlso known as multi-infarct dementia or post-stroke dementia, it occurs after a stroke and is the second most common type of dementia.<\/li><br>\n<li>Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB)Also known as Lewy Body Disease, DLB is characterized by abnormal deposits of protein, (called Lewy bodies) appearing in the nerve cells of the brain\u2019s stem. These deposits disturb the normal functioning of the brain, thereby impairing cognition and behaviour, and also causing tremors.<\/li><br>\n<li>Mixed DementiaIt is caused by more than one medical condition, and hence the name. The most common type of mixed dementia is caused by Alzheimer\u2019s and vascular disease.<\/li><br>\n<li><strong>Other types of dementia include:<br \/><\/strong>i. Parkinson\u2019s Disease\u00a0<br \/>ii. Frontotemporal dementia or Pick\u2019s disease<br \/>iii Creutzfeldt-Jakob Dementia (CJD)<br \/>iv. Huntington\u2019s Disease<br \/>v. Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome<br \/>vi. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)<\/li><br>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong> How does a person get dementia?<\/strong><p\/><br>\n<p>Dementia is caused when brain cells get damaged, resulting in their inability to communicate normally among each other. When this happens, thinking, behaviour and feelings may be affected, thereby leading to dementia.Dementia can be caused by:<\/p><br>\n<ul>\n<li>Familial or genetic factors<\/li>\n<li>Medical conditions<\/li>\n<li>that progressively attack brain cells and connections<\/li>\n<li>that disrupt oxygen flow and deprive the brain of blood and oxygen<\/li>\n<li>like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and hypertension<\/li>\n<li>like infection or illness that affects the central nervous system<\/li>\n<li>Poor nutrition, dehydration or substance abuse (i.e. drugs and alcohol)<\/li>\n<li>Trauma to the brain via injury or accident<\/li>\n<\/ul><br>\n<p>Although most changes in the brain that lead to dementia are permanent and worsen with time, thinking and memory problems caused by the following conditions can improve if the condition is properly treated or addressed:<\/p><br>\n<ul>\n<li>Depression<\/li>\n<li>Vitamin deficiencies<\/li>\n<li>Thyroid problems<\/li>\n<li>Medication side effects<\/li>\n<li>Excess use of alcohol<\/li>\n<\/ul><br>\n<p><strong> How is dementia diagnosed?<\/strong><p\/><br>\n<p>There is no single test to determine if someone has dementia. Doctors diagnose dementia \u2013 whether it\u2019s Alzheimer\u2019s or some other type of dementia \u2013 based on:<\/p><br>\n<ul>\n<li>Medical history<\/li>\n<li>Clinical examination<\/li>\n<li>Diagnostic tests<\/li>\n<li>Changes in thinking, day-to-day function and behaviour associated with each type of dementia<\/li>\n<\/ul><br>\n<p>Doctors can successfully determine \u2013 with a high level of certainty \u2013 that a person has dementia. But they generally find it harder to determine exactly what type of dementia a person has. That\u2019s because the symptoms and brain changes of different types of dementia can overlap. In some cases, a doctor may diagnose the condition as dementia but not specify the type. If this occurs, it may be necessary to visit a specialist.<\/p><br>\n<p><strong> How is dementia treated?<\/strong><p\/><br>\n<p>How dementia is treated will depend on its cause. Unfortunately, most progressive dementias (including Alzheimer\u2019s disease) cannot be cured, and there is no treatment to slow it down or stop its progression.However, cognitive (i.e. mental) and behavioural symptoms of dementia can be temporarily improved via:<br \/>i. drug treatments<br \/>ii. non-drug therapies<\/p><br>\n<p>Sometimes, treating conditions such as diabetes, metabolic disorders and vitamin deficiencies may reduce or even almost eliminate the symptoms of dementia.<\/p><br>\n<p><strong>How can dementia be prevented?<\/strong><p\/><br>\n<p>Risk factors for dementia such as age and genetics cannot be changed. However, among the most active areas of research in risk prevention and reduction include\u00a0<em>physical fitness<\/em>,\u00a0<em>diet<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>cardiovascular health<\/em>.<\/p>\n<ul><br>\n<li><strong><em>Physical Exercise<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Regular physical exercise can help reduce the risk of some types of dementia. Medical evidence suggests that regular exercise may directly benefit brain cells via increased flow of blood and oxygen to the brain.<\/li><br>\n<li><strong><em>Diet<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Your diet may have the greatest impact on the health of your heart and brain. Current medical evidence suggests that healthy, proactive eating habits, such as a balanced and nutritive diet, may also help protect the brain. A balanced and nutritive diet includes relatively less or no red meat and emphasizes more on\u00a0<em>fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, fish, olive oil and other healthy fats<\/em>.<\/li><br>\n<li><p><strong><em>Cardiovascular Health\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Your brain receives its nourishment from your blood vessels via your cardiovascular system. And anything that damages or blocks your blood vessels anywhere in your body can impact the blood vessels in your brain \u2013 by depriving brain cells of food and oxygen \u2013 and lead to vascular dementia, Alzheimer\u2019s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Such changes in your blood vessels may also interact to accelerate the decline and make the impairment more severe.<\/p><br>\n<strong>You can, however,\u00a0<em>protect your brain by protecting your heart in the following ways<\/em>:<\/strong><br \/>i. Drink less\u00a0<br \/>ii. Don\u2019t smoke<br \/>iii. Eat a healthy diet\u00a0<br \/>iv. i.e. keep your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar within recommended limits<br \/>v. Maintain healthy weight<br \/>vi. Exercise regularly<br \/>vii. Challenge your mind\u00a0<br \/>viii. Get regular and restful sleep<br \/>ix.

With the onset of dementia, there will most likely be a noticeable decline in communicating, remembering, learning and problem solving. These changes may take place very slowly or quickly, depending on the type of dementia and the area of the brain that is affected.<\/p><br>\n<p><strong>A person with dementia will most likely:<\/strong><\/p><br>\n<ul>\n<li>Ask the same questions repeatedly<\/li><br>\n<li>Be disoriented or feel lost in familiar places<\/li><br>\n<li>Unable to follow simple directions<\/li><br>\n<li>Be disoriented with regard to date, time, place or event<\/li><br>\n<li>Fail to recognize familiar people<\/li><br>\n<li>Find it difficult to perform routine tasks like<br \/>i. paying bills<br \/>ii. remembering appointments<br \/>iii. traveling out of their neighbourhood<\/li><br>\n<li>Neglect personal safety, hygiene and nutrition<\/li><br>\n<li>Hallucinate, be continually agitated or suffer from paranoia<\/li>\n<\/ul><br>\n<p><strong>What is the state of dementia in India and the world?<\/strong><p\/><br>\n<p>According to\u00a0<a style=\"color: blue;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alz.co.uk\/research\/WorldAlzheimerReport2015.pdf\">World Alzheimer Report 2015<\/a>, a &#8220;UK study has estimated that the health and social care costs for dementia almost match the combined costs of cancer, heart disease and stroke. In a Swedish study, the annual costs of dementia exceeded those of depression, stroke, alcohol abuse and osteoporosis. &#8220;Dementia in India is becoming more prevalent with the increase in population, average income and life expectancy. According to\u00a0<a style=\"color: blue;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alz.org\/in\/what-we-do.asp\">Alzheimer\u2019s Association India<\/a>, &#8220;More than 60% of people with dementia are from low and middle income countries like India.
