Symptoms you are describing points towards Alzhimers disease. However similar symptomatology with other associated features may be seen in other types of dementia. Please mention the semiology, duration, course of illness and any vascular risk factors and imaging findings if any to comment better.Hope my advice will help you. Take care. Don't forget to rate me.
