Early detection can lead to early intervention such as lifestyle changes, diet changes, and other things that may help people fight off dementia. I have been working with an Alzheimer's expert to develop a free, fast, and fun memory test that can help you detect signs of dementia early. I hope you can also work your way over to the blog to find helpful caregiver tips and other interesting news about this topic. Look forward to making solid connections as we fight dementia together. Thank you for the considerations.
But 'knowing can also be depressing'. My partner was diagnosed with early onset dementia 2 years ago, at 61. She notices the changes and is sometimes quite concerned. I also take care of my 90 year old mom, so she worries that I wont be able to do it all. And after the diagnosis absolutely no support or recommendations were offered except to force her to take a 4 hour assement to see if she should still be driving. We are just taking one day at a time.
