6. Dementia
IS NOT a
specific
disease.
Dementia is a
GROUP OF SYMPTOMS
affecting intellectual and
social abilities severely
enough to interfere with
daily functioning.
Memory loss generally
occurs in dementia, but
memory loss alone
does not imply you
have dementia.
DEMENTIA
Alzheimer's disease is
the most common
cause of a progressive
dementia.
There are many
causes of dementia
symptoms.
9. Transitional Phase-increased
probability of developing dementia
AGE-INCREASES PROBABILITY!
Amnestic type: memory impairment
(without the generalized deficits)
Non-amnestic: other domain is
affected
Dementia
Normal
Aging
Mild
Cognitive
Decline
(MCD)
11. Develops due to brain disease
Chronic and progressive in nature
Consciousness remaining intact
Deterioration of higher order cognitive functioning
Disturbances in social behaviour, emotional control and
motivation
12. The essential feature of any dementia is the development of multiple cognitive deficits that
include:
• memory impairment
and at least one of the following cognitive disturbances:
•
•
•
•
aphasia (language disturbance),
apraxia (impaired ability to carry out motor activities despite intact motor function),
agnosia (failure to recognize or identify objects despite intact sensory function), and
executive dysfunction (difficulty in planning, organizing, sequencing, abstracting).
The deficits must also be sufficiently severe and must represent a decline from a previously higher level of
functioning.
The diagnosis of dementia may be accompanied by subtypes and specifiers such as
• Early (before the age of 65) or Late Onset (after 65)
• With Behavioral Disturbance (e.g., wandering, striking out during care);
• With Delirium (if delirium is superimposed on dementia);
• With Delusions (if delusions are most prominent feature);
• With Depressed Mood (if depressed mood is most prominent feature); and
• Uncomplicated (if none of the aforementioned predominates the clinical presentation).

19. CORTICAL
• ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
• Genetic hypothesis: chromosomes 1, 14, 21
• Neuropathology: cortical atrophy, amyloid plaques and
neurofibrillary tangles
• General cognitive decline with severe memory impairment
SUBCORTICAL
• Huntington’s Disease
• Genetic: ITI5 on chromosome 4. Abnormal repetitions
• Neuropathology: deterioration of the caudate nucleus, globus
pallidus, putamen and striatum
• Motor functioning and frontal functioning affected
23. STATIC
• Heavy Metal Poisoning
• The whole system is affected, including the brain
• Cognitive decline and behavioural changes that can be stopped
by ending the exposure or with detox treatment
PROGRESSIVE
•
•
•
•
Vascular Dementia
Blood supply is affected (multi-infarcts)
Damage to multiple areas of the brain
Cognitive decline + hallucinations/delusions , personality
changes
24. REVERSIBLE
•
•
•
•
Severe Anemia
Memory loss (holes).
Cognitive decline similar to AD
Lack of vitamin B12 that can be reverted with treatment
IRREVERSIBLE
• Parkinson’s Dementia
• Motor symptoms of tremor, rigidity, and slowness of
movement.
• Loss of dopamine from the substantia nigra
27. PSYCHOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIOURAL DISTURBANCES
Depression
• Reaction to early cognitive
decline
• Less prevalent in severe
dementia due to impaired
awareness
• Vascular dementia more
susceptible
• Early Onset-Dementia as a
predictor of severity
Psychotic
Disturbances
• Approximately 50% will
display disturbances
• DELUSIONS- 1/3 will display
persecutory delusions not
attributed to memory
impairment
• Moderate Level
• HALLUCINATIONS- less
frequent
• More significant relationship
with cognitive decline
• Associated with a rapid
decline at a more severe
stage
Behavioural
Problems
• Agitation, irritability,
fatigue, tiredness, apathy,
psychomotor behaviours,
anxiety and sadness.
• AD patients with co-morbid
psychotic symptoms more
likely to display severe
aggression and behaviour
problems
• Pre-morbid communication
emulated
• RISK FACTORS:
• Genetics, personality
variables, location of
deterioration
• Social implications on self
and caregiver

32. Shultz (2004) defines the role of
caregiving as:
“… the provision of extraordinary care,
exceeding the bounds
of what is normative or usual in family
relationships. Caregiving
typically involves a significant
expenditure of time, energy, and
money over potentially long periods of
time; it involves tasks that
may be unpleasant and uncomfortable
and are psychologically
stressful and physically exhausting”
(259).

38. “Stigma is an attribute, behaviour, or reputation which is socially
discrediting in a particular way: it causes an individual to be
mentally classified by others in an undesirable, rejected
stereotype rather than in an accepted , normal one” (Goffman,
1963, as cited in Batsch, & Mittelman, 2012).
41. -2011, 5.5 million
individuals living
with HIV in S.A
Challenges when
screening for
HAD:language, culture,
inadequate resources.,
inappropriate tools,
untrained staff.
Risk Factors: lower CD4
count, older age, lower
levels of education,
depression, substance
abuse .
Prevalence: 25.4% of
adults living with HIV met
the criteria for HAD.
-International HIV
Dementia Scale
(IHDS)
Consequences: In
addition to HIV,
cognitive
impairments such as
poor concentration,
attention and
executive functioning
Sample of 65 nonadherent HIV
patients
8O% screened
positive for HAD
