Early-onset (also known as younger-onset) is diagnosed when Alzheimer\u2019s disease is present in someone under the age of 65 years old. Statistics have shown that around 5 percent of people with Alzheimer\u2019s were diagnosed with the early-onset form. Symptoms will be similar to other forms of the disease, but due to a patient\u2019s younger age, symptoms could be dismissed as signs of stress or depression. Warning signs include memory loss that has an impact on daily life, such as forgetting information that was recently learned. Other warning signs include losing track or confusion around time or place, and difficulty completing tasks that were once very familiar. Ten warning signs as outlined by The Alzheimer\u2019s Association can be found here:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alz.org\/alzheimers_disease_10_signs_of_alzheimers.asp\">http:\/\/www.alz.org\/alzheimers_disease_10_signs_of_alzheimers.asp.<\/a>\u00a0 While this list can be very helpful, please keep in mind that there is always a need to follow up with a medical professional to determine next steps, like medical testing.<\/p>\n<p>The Alzheimer\u2019s Association is a powerful resource that aims to re-frame the way our society views Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Societal pressure and misinformation can lead to depression and isolation in patients. This 2-minute video offers brief statements from those living with the disease and bravely working to overcome the stigmas associated with it: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alz.org\/i-have-alz\/overcoming-stigma.asp\">http:\/\/www.alz.org\/i-have-alz\/overcoming-stigma.asp.<\/a>\u00a0The faces and stories of the disease are diverse.<\/p>\n<p>When managing early-onset Alzheimer\u2019s, it is important to note that diagnoses could arise while patients are still working full-time and providing for their families. Coping with a potential future loss of income can be debilitating for families. Consider consulting a financial planner and attorney when faced with this new diagnosis. Among the vital steps to take are to ensure that you have planned for the future through necessary legal documents such as a durable power of attorney, trusts, and advance health care directives. You can also explore what benefits you might be entitled to as a result of an early-onset diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Weatherby &amp; Associates, PC will take the time to meet with you and address the legal and personal ramifications of early-onset Alzheimer\u2019s disease.
