Hi Marla, You've got an answer from the AFA, but I wanted to add a caregiver's perspective. I had four elders with dementia, and none were Alzheimer's. My dad's dementia was caused by surgery gone bad, my uncle's was caused by strokes (vascular dementia), and my mother and mother-in-law both had non-specific dementia. Alzheimer's is now getting the most attention from the public and press because of the hard work of organizations and people devoted to the cause. It is also considered the most common type. But there are many kinds of dementia, so a careful diagnosis must be made. Carol
