The symptoms of young onset dementia

This is a recording of a Twitter Space we held on 26 April 2023 where we discussed the different symptoms of young onset dementia, which is when dementia symptoms develop before the age of 65.

Thanks. UK really draws attention to young onset. US doesn’t have much info. Very appreciated. 😊

Thanks for this podcast... My mother was diagnosed in August 2021 two months after her husband died.
It explained so much. She drove us insane psychologically growing up. A month later,she turned 63 and in 2022, a legal dispute broke out between me (representing her) and her employer. I informed her line manager and instead of addressing the condition properly, the employer went ahead with dispilinary proceedings against her.
