What Are The Symptoms Of Dementia?
I am a 69 year old male and last year I was diagnosed with early onset dimentia. This seemed like a misnomer to me since I had always believed that such a term was applied to people who exhibited symptoms of dementia in their 40 s or 50 s. Am I correct that I might more accurately be described as suffering from early or incipient dimentia, as opposed to early onset?
