The exam should include an evaluation for reversible conditions that can mimic Alzheimer's disease, such as depression and delirium, and tests to differentiate between Alzheimer's and other types of dementia such as vascular dementia, Pick's disease, Parkinson's disease dementia and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
The confusion is natural though, as the vast majority of dementia cases â around 75% â are caused by Alzheimerâs. And itâs not always possible to diagnose Alzheimerâs with 100% accuracy, so a doctorâs first guess in encountering someone with dementia is likely to be that theyâre exhibiting signs of Alzheimerâs.
