1 in 10 People With Dementia Have THIS Hidden Diagnosis

from Dementia Careblazers · host Natali Edmonds

Did you know 1 in 10 dementia patients have a hidden diagnosis doctors often overlook? It's called mixed dementia—when someone has more than one type of dementia at the same time, usually Alzheimer's combined with vascular dementia. This overlooked condition can dramatically affect how dementia progresses and how best to care for your loved one. In this episode, I'll uncover why mixed dementia frequently goes undiagnosed, learn how to spot the subtle signs, and discover what this means for treatment, caregiving strategies, and your loved one's quality of life.
