Hi, welcome to Healthcaremagic.com,

Yes, sometimes it can lead to dementia but at later stage of the disease after so many years of diagnosis.

Also there are certain symptoms similar like anxiety, depression, hallucinations etc.
Parkinson, so one is with silent feature of fits or seizures.

Hope the answer. Will help you.
