Remember the definition of dementia is a bit counter-intuitive. It’s “not important” what sort of neural degradation you are dealing with, the diagnosis is defined by how much it affects you. A lot of the things that “reduce” dementia are actually things that help you work around the damage so the impact in your life is reduced.
