© Hodder Education 2011 Know the types and effects of dementia on health and quality of life Definitions  Dementia is defined as ‘A state of serious mental deterioration of organic or functional origin.’ (Source: Skills for Care)  ‘Dementia is a syndrome (a group of related symptoms) that is associated with an ongoing decline of the brain and its abilities. These include: thinking, language, memory, understanding and judgement.’ (Source:

© Hodder Education 2011 Know the types and effects of dementia on health and quality of life Differences between dementia, depression and confusional states  Dementia: there is no cure; a person may not be aware of what is wrong.  Depression: responds to treatment; a person is usually aware of what is happening.  Confusional state: often linked to other illnesses; may be acute, i.e. brief and of sudden onset.

© Hodder Education 2011 Know the types and effects of dementia on health and quality of life Types of dementia  Alzheimer’s disease: plaques or clumps of protein develop and interfere with normal brain function.  Vascular dementia: caused by circulatory problems, with insufficient blood and oxygen reaching the brain.  Dementia with Lewy bodies: caused when abnormal structures (Lewy bodies) develop inside the brain.  Fronto-temporal dementia (including Pick’s disease): occurs when the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain shrink (often associated with early onset dementia in younger people).

© Hodder Education 2011 Know the types and effects of dementia on health and quality of life Other types of dementia  Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) (sometimes called prion disease): there are four types of CJD – sporadic, variant CJD, iatrogenic and inherited prion disease.  Alcohol-related brain impairment (Korsakoff’s syndrome): dementia that comes from alcohol-related brain impairment.  CADASIL (cerebral autosomal dominant ateriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy) caused by a genetic link which interferes with blood supply to the brain.  Other disorders causing dementia include Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease and HIV or AIDS.
