The parent that carries the Alzheimer's gene are both parents as you can inherit one copy of the relevant gene of APOE from either parent or each parent.
Having a certain variation of this gene such as APOE e4 can also increase a persons risk of developing Alzheimer's.
Although not everyone that has the gene will get Alzheimer's or dementia.
The side of the family that dementia comes from is both sides and can come from one copy of APOE-e4 from either the father or the mother.
Most cases of dementia are not inherited although it's possible.
Dementia can come from either side of the family or from either biological parent.
Dementia is not often inherited although if someone in your family has had or has dementia then it's possible that you too or someone else in the family could get dementia.
In rare cases, dementia can be caused by genetic mutations that are inherited.
For example a dementia called familial frontotemporal dementia is caused by a single faulty gene which is passed down from a parent to a child and in this case the child has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the gene and then developing dementia later in life.
However the majority of dementia cases are not inherited by grandchildren and children or parents to child.
The stage of dementia that is anger is the middle stage although anger in dementia can also occur at any stage during dementia.
Anger in dementia patients is often a reaction to frustration and confusion that is experienced in the later stages of dementia.
However there really is no specific angry stage of dementia but the anger often occurs in the middle to late stages of dementia.
The seven stages of dementia are.
Stage 1 dementia with no cognitive decline.
Stage 2 dementia with very mild cognitive decline.
Stage 3 dementia with mild cognitive decline.
Stage 4 dementia with moderate cognitive decline.
Stage 5 dementia with moderately severe cognitive decline.
Stage 6 dementia with severe cognitive decline.
Stage 7 dementia with very severe cognitive decline.
In dementia the stages of dementia are not always linear and some people may experience different paths as they go through them.
Some people with dementia experience periods of decline that is followed by periods of stability.
The symptoms of dementia and patterns of progression of the dementia, also vary depending on the type of dementia that the person has.
The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer's.
A person with dementia will often need to be put into a care home when they are no longer able to do daily tasks, like eating, without the support of another person.
Or if the person with dementia is no longer safe at home like they start fires or they keep having falls.
Dementia is a condition which causes a decline in a persons mental abilities like remembering, reasoning and thinking which interferes with daily life.
Dementia is caused by the death of the nerve cells in the brain and is more common as you age.
Dementia though is not actually a normal part of aging and many people live well into their 90s and above without getting dementia.
The most common types of behavioral triggers in dementia patients are confusion, pain or discomfort, and a changing or overwhelming environment.
