the end stage of parkinson's is dementia. He will forget he was once the most overglorifed rubber stamp, but he might start spewing state secrets. A dementia stricken person is a loose canon, you can't predict what he will remember or say to you in public. The person could dredge up the most terrible family secret and repeat it ad nauseam. But by then you can't prosecute him cos he will be considered senile. Anyway, looking at hubby and wife in the clip, they don't look like they have aged well given their wealth. Unlike Wee Kim Wee and Mrs Wee.

Alzheimer's disease and dementia are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same. Here's a detailed comparison:

### Alzheimer's Disease:

1. **Definition:** Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that causes brain cells to degenerate and die, leading to a decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills.

2. **Cause:** The exact cause is not fully understood, but it involves a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.

3. **Symptoms:** Symptoms usually start with mild memory loss and progress to severe cognitive impairment, including disorientation, language problems, and changes in behavior and personality.

4. **Pathology:** Characterized by the accumulation of abnormal protein deposits (amyloid plaques and tau tangles) in the brain, leading to the death of nerve cells and the loss of brain tissue.

5. **Progression:** Typically starts slowly and worsens over time, eventually leading to total dependence on caregivers for daily activities.

6. **Treatment:** There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but some medications may temporarily improve symptoms or slow down their progression.

7. **Prevalence:** It is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of cases.

### Dementia:

1. **Definition:** Dementia is an umbrella term for a set of symptoms that include memory loss, impaired reasoning, and personality changes, which interfere with daily functioning.

2. **Types:** There are different types of dementia, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and mixed dementia.

3. **Cause:** Dementia can be caused by various underlying conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular issues, Parkinson's disease, or traumatic brain injury.

4. **Symptoms:** Symptoms vary depending on the underlying cause but often include memory loss, confusion, difficulty communicating, and problems with reasoning and judgment.

5. **Pathology:** The pathology of dementia depends on its underlying cause. For example, vascular dementia is caused by impaired blood flow to the brain, while Lewy body dementia involves abnormal protein deposits called Lewy bodies.

6. **Progression:** Progression depends on the type and cause of dementia but generally follows a gradual decline in cognitive function.

7. **Treatment:** Treatment varies depending on the underlying cause and may include medications, therapy, and lifestyle interventions to manage symptoms and slow down progression.

### Comparison:

- **Scope:** Alzheimer's disease is a specific type of dementia, while dementia is a broader term encompassing various conditions.

- **Cause:** Alzheimer's disease has a specific pathology involving abnormal protein deposits, while dementia can be caused by multiple factors.

- **Symptoms:**

Symptoms of Alzheimer's disease overlap with those of dementia but may vary depending on the underlying cause of dementia.

- **Treatment:** Treatment approaches for Alzheimer's disease may differ from those for other types of dementia, but both focus on managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

In summary, while Alzheimer's disease is a specific type of dementia with its own distinct pathology, dementia is a broader term encompassing various conditions that result in cognitive decline. Both conditions share similarities in symptoms and treatment approaches but differ in their underlying causes and specific characteristics.

A list of some of the most common types of dementia along with brief descriptions:

1. **Alzheimer's Disease:**
- Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia.
- It is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain, leading to the death of nerve cells and cognitive decline.
- Symptoms include memory loss, confusion, difficulty with language, and changes in mood and behavior.

2. **Vascular Dementia:**
- Vascular dementia results from impaired blood flow to the brain, usually due to strokes or small vessel disease.
- Symptoms may include difficulties with decision-making, planning, and organizing tasks, as well as memory impairment.
- The severity and progression of symptoms depend on the location and extent of vascular damage in the brain.

3. **Lewy Body Dementia:**
- Lewy body dementia is characterized by the presence of abnormal protein deposits called Lewy bodies in the brain.
- Symptoms include fluctuating cognitive impairment, visual hallucinations, movement disorders (similar to Parkinson's disease), and sleep disturbances.
- It is the second most common form of progressive dementia after Alzheimer's disease.

4. **Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD):**
- Frontotemporal dementia is a group of disorders characterized by the progressive degeneration of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain.
- Symptoms vary depending on the subtype but may include changes in personality and behavior, language difficulties, and problems with executive function.
- FTD typically affects younger individuals compared to other types of dementia.

5. **Mixed Dementia:**
- Mixed dementia refers to the coexistence of two or more types of dementia, most commonly Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.
- Symptoms may reflect a combination of features from each contributing condition, making diagnosis and management more challenging.

6. **Parkinson's Disease Dementia:**
- Parkinson's disease dementia occurs as a complication of Parkinson's disease, a movement disorder characterized by tremors, stiffness, and impaired balance.
- Cognitive impairment, including memory loss, executive dysfunction, and visual-spatial difficulties, develops in later stages of Parkinson's disease.

7. **Huntington's Disease Dementia:**
- Huntington's disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the HTT gene.
- Dementia is a common feature of Huntington's disease and typically manifests in later stages, along with movement disturbances, psychiatric symptoms, and behavioral changes.

8. **Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD):**
- Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a rare and rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by abnormal prion proteins.
- Symptoms include rapidly worsening dementia, movement abnormalities, visual disturbances, and psychiatric symptoms.
- There are several subtypes of CJD, including sporadic, familial, and acquired forms.

This list covers some of the most well-known types of dementia, each with its own distinct characteristics, causes, and progression. It's important to note that dementia can also result from other conditions or diseases not listed here, and accurate diagnosis requires a thorough evaluation by medical professionals.

Dementia and stroke are two distinct medical conditions, but they can be linked in several ways:

1. **Vascular Dementia:** One of the most direct links between dementia and stroke is through vascular dementia. Vascular dementia occurs when there is reduced blood flow to the brain, often due to a series of small strokes or one major stroke. These strokes can damage brain tissue, leading to cognitive impairment and dementia symptoms. Individuals who have had a stroke are at an increased risk of developing vascular dementia.

2. **Mixed Dementia:** Some individuals may experience a combination of Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia, known as mixed dementia. In this case, both Alzheimer's pathology (amyloid plaques and tau tangles) and vascular damage contribute to cognitive decline. Stroke can be a contributing factor to the development or progression of mixed dementia.

3. **Secondary Dementia:** In some cases, stroke can lead to secondary dementia due to the location and severity of brain damage. Depending on the affected areas of the brain, stroke can cause cognitive impairment, memory loss, language difficulties, and other dementia-like symptoms. This type of dementia is often referred to as post-stroke dementia.

4. **Increased Risk:** Individuals who have had a stroke are generally at a higher risk of developing dementia later in life compared to those who have not experienced a stroke. The risk factors for stroke, such as hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol, are also risk factors for dementia. Additionally, stroke survivors may have ongoing health issues or lifestyle changes that contribute to dementia risk.

5. **Shared Risk Factors:** Both dementia and stroke share common risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity. Managing these risk factors through lifestyle modifications and medical interventions can help reduce the risk of both conditions.

Overall, while dementia and stroke are distinct medical conditions, they can be closely linked, particularly through the development of vascular dementia or post-stroke dementia. It's important for individuals who have had a stroke to be monitored for cognitive changes and to receive appropriate medical care to reduce the risk of dementia.

don’t complicate things by being too smart. All the symptoms overlap. Even the best specialists won’t diagnose according to the textbook. It’s splitting hairs
