Similarities Between Vascular Neurocognitive Disorder And Alzheimer's

Another type of Neurocognitive disorder is referred to as vascular neurocognitive disorder. Symptoms include, difficulties in memories, motor skills, language and thought. This disorder occurs after an individual has a stroke, causing damage to the neurons and brain which results in memory loss. Vascular neurocognitive disorders and alzheimer’s are very similar, in regards to symptoms, and both disorders are almost identical. However, unlike alzheimer’s, vascular neurocognitive disorders occurs suddenly instead of having a gradual onset. These disorders can sometimes be difficult to diagnose when patients are alive because, they are so similar. Autopsies sometimes have to be preformed aft an individual has died in order to make a proper diagnosis
