Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of dementia, but not the only one. This session examines the other main types of dementia: vascular dementia, Lewy Body dementia and frontotemporal dementia, differentiating them from Alzheimer’s disease while discussing the prevalence of so-called mixed dementias where more than one disease process is at work. The second half of the session builds on communication tips and strategies and examines dementia-related behaviors as a form of communication.
