| description |
Dementia could be defined as a range of cognitive and behavioral symptoms, including memory loss, executive dysfunction, and change in personality, and a reduction in a person's ability to carry out daily activities. The most common types of dementia are Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia, mixed dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and frontotemporal dementia (1).
All currently approved treatments for dementia are symptomatic treatments that could influence cognitive and behavioral symptoms without changing the underlying neuropathological progression of the disease (2).
