Global Research.org has a report which raises concerns about medication induced mitochondrial damage contributing to risk for dementia. While both recreational and prescription drugs can cause brain damage which can in turn exacerbate the symptoms of AD without being causative it is important to note that chemical-induced dementia (a.k.a., drug-induced dementia) often presents with a pattern of neuropsychological deficits that are different than those seen in AD including a lack of clinical progression of the dementia following cessation of exposure. By contrast AD is a neurodegenerative disease and as such, it progresses relentlessly in the absence of exposure to any recognized chemicals neurotoxicants.
