Dementia is not just one disease.
Think of a tree - the trunk represents dementia, an umbrella term for decline in memory, thinking, reasoning & daily function. From the trunk grow many branches, such as Alzheimer's disease, Vascular, Lewy body, Frontotemporal and Mixed dementias: Parkinson's disease dementia, Huntington's disease and other less common causes of cognitive decline. Whilst these conditions share similar symptoms, they affect the brain differently and progress in diverse ways, often requiring personalised approaches to care. Understanding which “branch” our loved one is living with can help us to better understand and supply appropriate, personalised support. When we understand the branches, we are better equipped to care for the whole tree.
