/Home/About Dementia/Potentially Reversible or Treatable Dementias
There are potentially reversible conditions that may cause or mimic dementia. Among these conditions are brain tumors, head injuries, metabolic changes, thyroid problems and nutritional deficiencies (vitamin B12 being the most common). Toxins, including chronic alcohol abuse, drugs or medication, may cause confusion, cognitive decline and dementia. If detected and treated early, these dementias can be reversed or their progress halted.
