Early-Onset Dementia is Surging, Recent Study Finds
|
Q. My sister, Abigail, is 45 and complains of memory loss. She often repeats herself, asking the same questions over and over again and has trouble coming up with desired words in a conversation. The last time I visited her at her home, she was confused about what day it was. I can understand that, as it’s happened to me a lot since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. What I am concerned about
though is the stack of bills I found that she has forgotten to pay. One more week and they would have turned off her water and stopped taking her trash. Could someone who is middle-aged like my sister have dementia or another form of Alzheimer’s already? She and I are both very concerned. Is there a reliable online option to check, before she makes an appointment with a doctor? Thanks for your help!
