Vascular dementia
Vascular dementia is caused by damage from restricted blood flow in your brain.
Vascular dementia can happen to anyone and is difficult to diagnose because it often occurs alongside other dementias, like Alzheimer’s disease.
There is no known cure for vascular dementia, but medication and treatment can help slow the decline. Support is available.
