Understanding Dementia
Dementia is not a single disease but an umbrella term encompassing a range of conditions characterised by a decline in cognitive function severe enough to interfere with daily life. We pride ourselves on offering detailed explanations of all major types of dementia to empower our users with knowledge.
Our resource libraries, expert opinions and supporter contributions allows us to provide information, help, and support to all types of Dementia.
Alzheimer’s Disease, the most common form, accounts for 60-80% of cases and is marked by the buildup of amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain, leading to memory loss and confusion.
Vascular Dementia often resulting from strokes or reduced blood flow to the brain, presents with issues like poor judgment and difficulty planning.
Lewy Body Dementia is linked to abnormal protein deposits, causes visual hallucinations and movement problems.
Frontotemporal Dementia affects personality and behaviour due to damage in the brain’s frontal and temporal lobes.
Mixed Dementia, a combination of two or more types, and rarer forms like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Parkinson’s disease dementia round out the spectrum. Each type has unique symptoms and progression rates, and our hub breaks these down with clarity.
We provide articles, infographics, and expert insights to help you recognise signs, understand diagnoses, and explore how these conditions differ. Whether you’re a caregiver seeking to identify early symptoms or someone newly diagnosed, our resources are designed to inform and reassure.

New Drugs and Treatments
The landscape of dementia treatment is evolving rapidly, and we are at the forefront of reporting on new drugs and therapies. Current research focuses on slowing disease progression rather than curing it, but promising developments are on the horizon.
Drugs like lecanemab and donanemab, which target amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s, have shown modest success in clinical trials, with ongoing studies refining their efficacy.
Other medications, such as tau protein inhibitors, are in early phases, aiming to address another hallmark of the disease.
Non-pharmacological treatments, including natural remedies such as herbs and spices, cognitive stimulation therapy and personalized exercise programs, are also gaining traction within the UK and Global communities.
By providing regular detailed news on these developments, including trial results and availability, we help you stay informed about potential future options.
