At Bumrungrad, we have a Memory Clinic to specifically work with Dementia (of which Alzheimer’s disease is the most common). The Memory Clinic treats memory based conditions which cause dementia, such as:
 
	- 
		Alzheimer's Disease
	
- 
		Brain Tumors
	
- 
		Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD)
	
- 
		Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB)
	
- 
		Fronto-temporal Dementia
	
- 
		Korsakoff's Syndrome
	
- 
		Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
	
- 
		Subdural Hematoma
	
- 
		Vascular Dementia
	
	- 
		Dementia from movement disorders:
		
	
- 
		Thyroid Disorders
	
- 
		Vitamin Deficiency
	
The Memory Clinic doctors will do screening tests to determine if the cause of the dementia is “treatable” or “non-treatable”.
	- 
		“Treatable dementia”: Refers to dementia which is caused by something such as thyroid disorders, B12 deficiency, tumors, or subdural hematoma (bleeding of the brain). The doctor may then refer you to a neurosurgeon or an endocrinologist based on the cause.
	
- 
		“Non-treatable dementia”: Refers to dementia which cannot be cured by surgery or medicine. However, non-treatable dementia can be assisted through the use of medicine to slow the progression of dementia. Alzheimer's disease accounts for about 65% of non-treatable dementia.
