Dementia explained
Dementia is not one medical condition, but a set of symptoms. Common causes, or ‘types,’ of dementia include Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia.
Vascular dementia
The cause of vascular dementia is a lack of blood supply to areas of the brain, sometimes following a stroke or a series of ‘mini-strokes’.
