Dementia affects connected brain systems rather than a single isolated area. This post explains how different dementias involve different brain networks, why changes tend to widen over time, and how this understanding supports more inclusive, compassionate responses.
Vascular dementia is a type of dementia caused by damage to the brain’s blood vessels. This damage may result from strokes, mini-strokes (also known as transient ischemic attacks or TIAs), or other conditions that impair blood flow to the brain.
While the journey may have challenges, learning as much as possible about the specific type of dementia is the first step toward navigating it with confidence and compassion.
Dementia is not a single condition but an umbrella term for over 100 different disorders that affect the brain.
This list of dementia types and subtypes was manually compiled based on available online resources. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information, it is important to note that I cannot guarantee the completeness or absolute accuracy of the content.
