* About dementia
* What is dementia?
* What is dementia?The term "dementia" doesn't actually refer to one,
specific disease. Rather, it's an overall term for a set of symptoms
that are caused by disorders affecting the brain.
* Common questions about dementiaGet the answers to the most common
questions about dementia.
* Dementia numbers in CanadaThe Alzheimer Society is committed to
providing accurate and reliable data on dementia in Canada. Statistics
listed on this page are the most current available and are updated
periodically when new reports and studies are issued.
* What is Alzheimer's disease?
* What is Alzheimer's disease?Alzheimer's disease is a chronic
neurodegenerative disease that destroys brain cells, causing thinking
ability and memory to deteriorate over time. Alzheimer's disease is not
a normal part of aging, and is irreversible.
* The history behind Alzheimer's diseaseWhile Alzheimer's has always been
with us, attempts to understand and identify the disease and its impact
didn't come about until very recently in human history.
* The difference between Alzheimer's disease and other dementiaAlzheimer's
disease and dementia do not mean the same thing. Understand the
difference on this page.
* How Alzheimer's disease changes the brainAlzheimer's disease can change
the brain in many different ways, On this page, read about some of the
changes you may expect as the disease progresses.
* The stages of Alzheimer's diseaseAlzheimer's disease is usually
described in terms of stages, indicating the severity of the symptoms.
Learn about the stages on this page, from early stage to end of life.
* Genetic testing and Alzheimer's diseaseGenetic testing can sometimes
help identify whether a person has a high or low chance of developing
Alzheimer's disease. On this page, find out more about genetic testing
for Alzheimer's and whether it applies to you.
* Other types of dementia
* Other types of dementiaWhile Alzheimer's disease is the most common type
of dementia, there are other types as well. Learn about them here.
* LATE-NCLimbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (or LATE-NC)
is the most recently identified form of dementia, noted for its close
similarity to Alzheimer’s.
* Dementia with Lewy bodiesDementia with Lewy bodies – caused by abnormal
'Lewy bodies' deposits of protein called alpha-synuclein inside of the
brain's nerve cells – shares many similarities with Parkinson’s disease.
* Frontotemporal dementiaFrontotemporal dementia is an umbrella term for a
group of rare disorders that primarily affect the areas of the brain
associated with personality and behaviour.
* Mixed dementiaIt's possible for someone to have more than one type of
dementia. When this happens, it's known as mixed dementia.
* Vascular dementiaThe most common type of dementia after Alzheimer's
disease, vascular dementia occurs when the brain’s blood supply is
blocked or damaged, causing brain cells to be deprived of oxygen and
die.
* Young-onset dementiaWhen symptoms of dementia start before the age of
65, we use the term "young onset dementia."
* Rare types of dementiaThere are many conditions that, in rare cases, can
lead to dementia. Learn about them in this section.
* Conditions related to dementiaLearn about conditions similar to dementia
in this section.
* Do I have dementia?

section will help you. Get answers to common questions. Recognize what's
a warning sign and what's part of normal aging. Know when it may be time
to seek a diagnosis.
* The 10 warning signs of dementiaWhether you’re concerned for yourself or
someone you care about, it's important to know the warning signs of
dementia so you can ensure an early diagnosis. Here are 10 of the most
common warning signs for dementia.
* The differences between normal aging and dementiaIf you are experiencing
difficulties with memory, know that they may not be signs of dementia.
It could be memory loss as a part of normal aging.
* How to get tested for dementiaIf you or someone you know is concerned
about having dementia, it’s important that you can identify the warning
signs, know when to talk to your doctor and understand how dementia is
diagnosed. Follow these steps.
* How can I prevent dementia?The most effective way to prevent Alzheimer's
disease and other dementias is to minimize the risk factors and make
healthy lifestyle choices that benefit both your body and brain.
* How can I treat dementia?There are currently no treatments that can
reverse cognitive decline brought on by dementia. However, there are
approaches you can take that can help you fight symptoms and maintain
your quality of life for as long as possible.

living with dementia to live fully with dignity and respect. Help us
fight stigma by learning more about its effects and taking steps to
reduce its impact.
