YOGYAKARTA - dementia is a term used to describe a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking and social ability severe enough to disrupt your daily life. It's not a certain disease, but some disease can lead to early dementia.

Although dementia generally involves memory loss, memory loss has a different cause. Memory loss alone doesn't mean you suffer from dementia, although it is often one of the early signs of the situation.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of progressive dementia in older adults, but there are a number of other causes of dementia. Depending on the cause, some symptoms of dementia may be reversible.

Symptoms of dementia vary depending on the cause, but general signs and symptoms include:

Cognitive changes

Psychological changes

Cause

Dementia is caused by damage or loss of nerve cells and their connections in the brain. Depending on the damaged brain area, dementia can influence people differently and cause different symptoms.

dementia is often grouped based on its similarities, such as proteins or proteins stored in the brain or the part of the brain affected. Some diseases look like dementia, such as those caused by reactions to drugs or vitamin deficiency, and may improve with treatment.

Progressive dementia

The types of dementia that develop and are not reversible include:

Alzheimer's disease

This is the most common cause of dementia.

While not all causes of Alzheimer's disease are known, experts know that a small fraction is associated with three-gen mutations, which can be passed down from parent to child. While some genes may be involved in Alzheimer's disease, one important gene that increases the risk is apopitrotein E4 (APOE).

Alzheimer's disease patients have plaque and tangledness in their brains. Plak is a protein clump called beta-amiloid, and tangled is a fibered tangled fiber made of tau protein. It is thought that this clot damages healthy neurons and the fiber that connects them.

Voscalar dementia

This type of dementia is caused by damage to blood vessels that supply blood to your brain. Blood vessel problems can cause stroke or affect the brain in other ways, such as by damaging fiber in brain white matter.

The most common signs of vascular dementia include difficulty solving problems, slow thinking, and losing focus and organization. This tends to be more visible than memory loss.

Lewy's body dementia

Lewy's body is an abnormal protein lump like a balloon found in the brains of Lewy's body dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. This is one of the more common types of progressive dementia.

Signs and general symptoms include playing a person's dream in sleep, seeing things that are not there (visual halusination), and problems with focus and attention. Other signs include uncoordinated or slow movement, tremors, and rigidity (parkinsonomy).

Dementia fronttemporal

This is a group of diseases characterized by damage to nerve cells and their connections in the brain's frontal and temporal lobes. These are areas commonly associated with personality, behavior, and language. Common symptoms affect behavior, personality, thought, assessment, and language and movement.

Mixed dementia

The brain autopsy studies of 80 and older people suffering from dementia show that many have a combination of several causes, such as Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and Lewy's body dementia. The study is underway to determine how mixed dementia affects symptoms and treatments.
