Dementia Care & Subtype Management
Memory DisordersComprehensive subspecialty care for Vascular, Frontotemporal, Lewy Body, and Mixed Dementias.
Dementia is an umbrella term for cognitive decline severe enough to impact daily self-care. Identifying the exact subtype (Vascular, Lewy Body, or FTD) is vital for prescribing correct medications.
- Vascular Dementia: Step-wise decline, slowed thinking, and stroke history
- Lewy Body: Visual hallucinations, fluctuating alertness, and tremors
- Frontotemporal: Early disinhibition, loss of empathy, and personality shifts
- Cerebrovascular mini-strokes (TIAs) reducing cerebral blood supply
- Alpha-synuclein protein bodies (Lewy Body) or TDP-43 protein folds (FTD)
- Reversible metabolic deficiencies (Vitamin B12 / Thyroid)
- Fluctuating levels of alertness, sudden confusion, or unexplained falls
- Vivid visual hallucinations or sudden uncharacteristic personality disinhibition
- Subtype-tailored neuro-psychiatric pharmacotherapy
- Vascular stroke risk management & blood pressure control
- Behavioral de-escalation protocols & home caregiver support
