Types of dementia

[Greenpixy18]

Well for people who want to know more, here are the different types of dementia. Alzheimer's disease, Vascular dementia , Dementia pugilistica , Dementia with Lewy bodies there are alot more of them, but you can discuss different ones here. The most well know I think is Alzheimer's disease. I pretty much never heard of the other ones myself.

Dementia is the loss of mental functions—such as thinking, memory, and reasoning—that is severe enough to interfere with a person’s daily functioning.

Some doctors and researchers split dementia into two broad categories like,
1) Cortical dementias
2) Sub cortical dementias
