Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer’s Disease is a TYPE of dementia. Think of an umbrella that is called dementia, and underneath the umbrella is Alzheimer’s Disease along with many other forms of dementia including: Parkinson’s Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Aphasia Dementia, Vascular Dementia, Frontal-Temporal Dementia, and CTE (Chronic Tramatic Encephalopathy). Of all types of dementia, Alzheimer’s is by far the most common – representing about 53% of all diagnosed cases. The only type of dementia where we know the cause is CTE – this form of neurodegeneration is directly due to brain injuries sustained over time most frequently from football, soccer and boxing.
