Vascular dementia presents with distinct cognitive and language deficits compared to Alzheimer's disease, requiring specific neuropsychological assessment and non-pharmacological interventions like speech-language therapy.
Vascular dementias (VaD) represent a progressive decline in cognitive functions to the extent that it interferes with daily activities performance.

The clinical picture and course of the disease differ between different types.
