August 2Aug 2 I am sure we have all been affected by family or friends struck down with dementia. It's such a ghastly disease. One friend I have known for almost 40 years is now in the final stages of Alzheimer's in Chiang Mai. But dementia has struck people earlier than 45. Some years ago The Guardian reported a case of BvFTD dementia in a young lady of 36 when she started exhibiting signs. The report of her struggle does not make for pleasant reading. It took six years before she died. The second link below is to the dementiaUK website. It has a lot of information and a vdo about Young Onset Dementia. It estimates that there are 70,800 Young Onset patients in the UK and slow loss of memory may not always necessarily be the first indication of this type of dementia. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/nov/14/daughter-died-young-onset-dementia-42-angry-doctors-long-diagnose https://www.dementiauk.org/information-and-support/young-onset-dementia/
