People with vascular dementia tend to have more behavioral, psychiatric symptoms, more anxiety, more uncontrolled behavior, aggressiveness. We cannot treat the brain damage but what can be treated to some extent, is the causes that produce this little strokes. Treatment of these causes involves treatment of the person's cardiovascular condition. A third dementia is less common than Alzheimer's but is fairly common, called the Lewy Body dementia. This dementia is almost Parkinson's disease to some extent.
People do have stiffness and their movements become restricted.
They have permanent hallucinations, usually visual. They see people in their houses coming at night and taking coins from their pockets. This is very difficult to treat. We don't have treatment for dementia. We can try some symptomatic measures.
