Alzheimers cannot be diagnosed except by autopsy- we can guess because of the symptoms. There are as you suspected many possible causes for dementia Multi-Infarct ( series of strokes) is just one of them, drug and.or alcohol abuse being another. Head injuries in which unconsciousness occurs is another one. It doesn't really matter, what causes the dementia, be it Alzheimers or any other, the result is exactly the same. Treatments may differ according to the cause, but the effect is always the same. Dementia causes an erasing of the memory beginning with the present and working its way backwards. Multi-task sequencing becomes difficult and eventually impossible, communication skills are impaired, the ability to take care of ones daily needs , no matter how simple becomes a very difficult if not impossible task. Brain tumors can also cause dementia, some are operable, some are not, but this should be ruled out before proceeding with any type of dementia treatment. zoe > thank you Kathryn. > Clayton Family wrote: > One thought I had was that there was an essay for the NY Times written > by a dr, the head of the autopsy dept at Johns Hopkins.
