For people living with dementia, their families and carers. The Dementia Guide is an important resource for any person impacted by any form of dementia, of any age. The Guide contains information about the impact dementia may have on a person, the treatment, support and services they may need.

Free and confidential, the National Dementia Helpline provides expert information, advice and support, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. No issue too big, no question too small.
Between 5% and 15% of people living with a dementia have a rare dementia. Rare Dementia Support (RDS) is a world-leading, UK-based service led by the UCL Dementia Research Centre (DRC) that aims to empower, guide and inform people living with a rare dementia diagnosis and those who care about them.
This page provides information about these rare conditions. The conditions have been divided into two categories:
those that directly cause dementia.
those that can cause memory and cognitive problems similar to symptoms seen in dementia.
