Dementia is a word that often sparks fear and confusion, with many families immediately thinking of Alzheimer’s as the only form. But dementia is actually an umbrella term for several distinct diseases, each with its own causes, symptoms, treatments, and risks. In this episode of "What I'd Tell My Family," Dr. Todd Levine guides us through the essential differences between the four major types of dementia: Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and vascular dementia.
We'll explore how new diagnostic tools and FDA-approved treatments are making precision medicine possible, learn about the frequently missed or misdiagnosed forms like Lewy body dementia, and discover why getting the right diagnosis has never been more important. Whether you’re noticing early memory slips in a loved one or want to prepare for the future, Dr. Levine offers practical advice, discusses life-changing medication risks, and explains the importance of new biomarkers that could change how we fight these diseases. If you think all dementias are the same, this episode will give you the critical distinctions every family needs to know.
