The needs of people with young-onset dementia and their carers.
Young people who develop dementia and their carers have all the distressing symptoms of older people who have this condition but with the added problems of having a career, financial commitments and often a young family. Getting a diagnosis can be difficult and carers may feel very burdened and isolated. This paper explores the condition and the help that is available.
