Yes. YOD is young onset dementia. There is no focus on it. All i hear is about Alzheimer or dementia in above 65. My wife had it when she was in her late 50s. Nobody knows how to handle this. Stigmatised and fallen by the wayside.This is what that is in Singapore. It is the same as in other places as well.

Hi, @ngyose - young-onset dementia would be a great topic to start in the Brain & Nervous System group on Connect https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/brain-and-nerve-diseases/, if you'd be willing. I agree - it could certainly use more attention, and I'd like to gather some members around that topic. You can start a discussion anytime by clicking on the charcoal gray box on that page that says "Start a Discussion."
