Vascular Dementia Symptoms

Symptoms of Vascular Dementia

The symptoms of vascular dementia are those that are typically seen with regular dementia such as confusion (which seems to be more profound at night), memory problems (may not be a significant symptom in all cases of vascular dementia, dependent upon which region of the brain is affected), misplacing items, depression, difficulty communicating, and even agitation. There are also symptoms such as lack of coordination, difficult walking, a decrease in organizational abilities, and problems with speech. Sometimes it is possible for Alzheimer’s disease (another common type of disease that is prevalent in the elderly population) and vascular dementia to occur at the same time.
