DESCRIBE A RANGE OF COURSE OF DEMENTIA SYNDROME.
The number of different types of dementia is;
Benson’s syndrome (also called Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA))
Alzheimer’s disease
Primary Progressive Aphasia (A type of Fronto-temporal dementia)
Lewy body Disease (Also known as Dementia with Lewy bodies)
Picks disease (A type of Fronto-temporal dementia)
Binswangers Disease. ( A type of vascular dementia)
Niemann-Pick disease type C
Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease
HIV Brain related impairment ( also Known as Aids Dementia Complex )
DESCRIBE THE TYPES OF MEMORY IMPAIRMENT COMMONLY EXPERIENCED BY INDIVIDUALS WITH DEMENTIA.
The types of memory loss are;
Alzheimer’s disease that affects the brain, caused by 2 abnormal proteins (Beta Amyloid and Tau) inside a person’s brain. The first of the brain to be affected is the area, responsible to recall memory.
Vascular disease affects the brain also as a result of a stroke, which caused a cut off of oxygen that as starved the brain. This disease is also caused when blood vessels become diseased leading to a condition called sub-cortical dementia that affects memory and understanding.
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) has been found that people with this type of dementia have an accumulation of protein to the brain known as ‘Lewy bodies’. It is said that these bodies will damage cells that consequently disrupt the same chemicals that affect those with Alzheimer’s.
Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a rare disease in whish parts of the brain becomes damage and start to shrink the outer layer of the brain ( known as the cortex) with in time as disease progresses will affect memory and thinking.
HIV-related cognitive impairment and dementia is an affection that weakens the immune system, this disease will also affect a number of different problems with the brain also. HIV in people with Neurocognitive disorder can also suffer with short term memory loss.
Niemann-Pick disease type C this is a rare
