No, trauma to the head, heavy metal poisoning and other spirochetes such as syphilis can as well.

            Alzheimers is just one form of dementia but they are all
            being misnamed under that blanket recently. Alzheimers
            cannot be diagnosed except by autopsy- we can guess
            because of the symptoms.
            There are as you suspected many possible causes for dementia
            Multi-Infarct ( series of strokes) is just one of them,
            drug and.or alcohol abuse being another. Head injuries in
            which unconsciousness occurs is another one. It doesn't
            really matter,
            what causes the dementia, be it Alzheimers or any other,
            the result is exactly the same. Treatments may differ
            according to the cause, but the effect is always the same.
            Dementia causes an erasing of the memory beginning with
            the present and working its way backwards. Multi-task
            sequencing becomes difficult and eventually impossible,
            communication skills are impaired, the ability
            to take care of ones daily needs , no matter how simple
            becomes a very
            difficult if not impossible task.

            Brain tumors can also cause dementia, some are operable,
            some are not, but this should be ruled out before
            proceeding with any type of dementia treatment.
