Understanding rare dementias. Transforming care.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, but there are many other conditions that can lead to dementia. These conditions are rarer, can occur at a younger age, and can cause symptoms that are not only memory-related. These may include difficulties with vision, language, movement, and behavioural changes. Current healthcare systems are not set up to respond to these different dementias, their complexity and atypical presentations. Specialist information and tailored support can help people and families plan, navigate diagnosis and manage daily life.
