Who Are You
Many people think of dementia as an illness that occurs in
the later stages of ageing. While less common, dementia
can also be experienced by people under the age of 65 and
is often referred to as ‘younger onset dementia’. In 2018
there is an estimated 26,500 people in Australia who are
under the age of 65 and living with dementia. Some of
these people may be in their 30’s, 40’s or 50’s.
