   1. Younger Onset Dementia - A Practical Guide

February 2009



“You’re too young for dementia” is often the reaction of health professionals, family and friends of people with dementia because society associates dementia with older adults. Advocacy on the many issues that impact on the lives of those with younger onset dementia has become an important part of the work of Alzheimer’s Australia in recent years.

 

The objective of this publication is to draw together information on younger onset dementia and provide practical information for those newly diagnosed as well as their families and carers.
