What are the Other Types of Dementia?
The original name of the U.S. Alzheimer’s Association was the “Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorder Association.” Despite that early nod to the “related” or “other” dementias, for many years almost all the public’s focus was on Alzheimer’s disease, the leading form of dementia. Approximately 60 percent of all dementia cases are Alzheimer’s disease with symptoms affecting memory, thinking, language and judgment.
