Summary

In Chapter 4, we discuss the various types of dementia that do not readily fall into the Alzheimer’s, Lewy body dementias, or frontotemporal lobar degeneration disorders discussed in Chapters 1–3. In addition to reviewing some of the causes of dementia that may be reversible in nature, Chapter 4 also covers vascular dementia, prion disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, dementia related to HIV infection, and dementia associated with Huntington's disease. For strategies to ameliorate some of the secondary behavioral symptoms often associated with all types of dementia, the reader is directed to Chapter 5.
