Raising Awareness of Dementia

Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a range of progressive neurological disorders, that is, conditions affecting the brain. There are many different types of dementia, of which Alzheimer’s disease is the most common.

The four most common types of dementia are:

• Alzheimer’s Disease
• Vascular dementia
