early onset Alzheimer's

Early onset Alzheimer's disease is a form of dementia that occurs in individuals typically under the age of 65. Unlike the more common late-onset Alzheimer's, early onset can manifest in a person's 40s or 50s. Symptoms include memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with problem-solving and language. The exact cause is not fully understood, but genetics can play a significant role. Diagnosis involves cognitive testing and medical evaluations. Although there is currently no cure, treatments focus on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. Awareness and support are crucial for patients and their families.
