Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. However, there are many types of dementia such as Lewy body dementia, Parkinson's disease dementia and vascular dementia.
Many dementias slowly develop over time which can make it difficult to distinguish between normal aging or a brain condition.
1 out of every 15 adults over 45 years old report experiencing worsening memory problems, yet only 50% discuss these problems with a healthcare provider (CDC, Alzheimer's Disease and Health Aging, New Hampshire: Subjective Cognitive Decline).
Neuropsychological evaluations can detect signs of dementia up to a decade before they are often diagnosed (Neuropsychological tests accurately predict incident Alzheimer disease after 5 and 10 year).
For Alzheimer's disease early diagnosis is vital as disease-modifying medications are most effective during this time (Lecanemab in Early Alzheimer's Disease).
To learn more about dementia or Alzheimer's disease read Dr. Seichepine's blog post titled, "What is dementia? Isn't that just Alzheimer's disease?" or view his TEDx talk titled, "Why Early Detection is the Best Hope Against Alzheimer's Disease."
