Dementia is a syndrome that has different set of symptoms and signs. There are many types of disorders which can be caused in dementia. People with dementia illnesses sometimes suffer from a number of conditions which do not experience the events as they are.

Some of the conditions that people with dementia may experience are: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the mainly caused diseases that are caused due to memory loss, especially in case of new learning of information. Symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease are; altered habits of eating, wandering, depression, aggression, disinheriting, incontinence, agitation, psychosis (hallucinations and delusions), and apathy; Vascular dementia (VaD) is caused due to vascular problem such as stroke and due to losing the ability of performing already learnt tasks; Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is caused due to recurrence of motor features, visual hallucination, and cognition fluctuation; Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) leads to disturbance in language and difficulties in behaviour; Korsakoff 's syndrome is caused due to long term and heavy drinking habits, in it people suffer from loss of short term memory, excessive drinking can have a negative impact on our body, both in terms of physical and mental do not need to convince anybody (Bromley, 2000, pp427-36, 438).

But it is worth the outset that it is not so, that this disease certainly occurs in those who have a significant alcohol
