The 28 pages that link to Dementia, each with the reason it gives.

• Intellectual disabilityCompared with: Its onset follows a decline from earlier abilities, unlike developmental-onset intellectual disability.

• Alzheimer's diseaseNarrower topic: Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of this broader clinical syndrome.

• DeliriumCompared with: Dementia usually progresses over months or years, whereas delirium begins acutely and fluctuates.

• AphasiaCompared with: Aphasia is acquired after brain injury; language decline can also occur within dementia.

• Neuropsychological assessmentRelated: Assessment can characterize the cognitive pattern and help track change over time.

• HydrocephalusRelated: Cognitive impairment can accompany normal pressure hydrocephalus and may improve with treatment.

• NeuropsychologyBroader topic: Neuropsychological profiles help characterize decline and distinguish patterns of impairment.

• AmnesiaCompared with: Unlike many amnesias, dementia typically involves progressive impairment across multiple cognitive domains.

• Advance care planningRelated: Early planning can record preferences before cognitive decline limits decision-making.

• AnticholinergicRelated: Studies examine whether sustained anticholinergic exposure is associated with later dementia risk.

• Cognitive impairmentBroader topic: Functional interference marks a more severe syndrome than cognitive test changes alone.

• Creutzfeldt–Jakob diseaseNarrower topic: Rapidly worsening cognition is a defining clinical consequence of the disease.

• ForgettingCompared with: Progressive memory loss in dementia differs from normal forgetting in cause and scope.

• Dementia praecoxCompared with: Despite its name, dementia praecox was not a diagnosis of later-life cognitive decline.

• Executive dysfunctionCompared with: Executive dysfunction is one possible feature, not a synonym for dementia.

• Iris MurdochRelated: Murdoch's later life with Alzheimer's disease prompted public reflection on identity, creativity, and personhood.

• Alois AlzheimerNarrower topic: Alzheimer began with the clinical syndrome before relating it to pathological findings.

• Psychomotor agitationRelated: Agitation can occur in dementia, especially when communication, discomfort, or environmental demands become difficult.

• Assisted livingRelated: Changing cognitive needs can affect whether an assisted-living setting can provide adequate support.

• GeriatricsRelated: Cognitive impairment can alter diagnosis, treatment decisions, and support needs.

• NeuropsychiatryBroader topic: Neuropsychiatric care addresses its cognitive, emotional, and behavioral symptoms.

• ParaphreniaCompared with: Paraphrenia’s relatively preserved personality contrasted with the cognitive and functional decline associated with dementia.

• Pick's diseaseNarrower topic: Pick's disease may cause dementia as its progressive brain damage spreads.

• Subacute sclerosing panencephalitisRelated: Progressive cognitive and behavioral decline is a central clinical feature.

• Terry PratchettRelated: Pratchett publicly discussed living with posterior cortical atrophy, a rare form of dementia.

• Diogenes syndromeRelated: Cognitive decline can contribute to neglected care or unsafe living conditions.

• Gerstmann–Sträussler–Scheinker syndromeRelated: Cognitive impairment may emerge as the neurological disease advances.

• PiracetamRelated: Piracetam has been studied as a treatment, but evidence does not establish benefit.
