what is the difference between dementia and alzheimer's? . my 78 year old mother has been diagnosed with vascular dementia and the nurses at the home keep asking me why i don't put her on a drug like razadyne. from what i have read this drug is for patients with early stage alzheimer's correct? and what is the difference really between the two?
