Other Dementing Conditions

Overview

There are many causes of dementia other than the most common which are Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia.

Dementia is also found in younger adults, termed Early Onset Dementia; and is associated with a large number of neurological conditions such as Huntington’s, Parkinson’s, hydrocephalus, MS, prion diseases, alcohol-related dementia, traumatic encephalopathy and a number of infectious diseases such as HIV.

Diagnosis is based on thorough assessment and investigation with management and treatment, if possible, depending on the underlying cause of the dementia.
