‘It’s a relief we know what we’re dealing with now’

Jackie was diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer’s disease in 2023, at the age of 54.
Jackie and her husband Tony first noticed her symptoms when she started getting lost in familiar places and finding difficulty in completing her favourite crafts activities.
A dementia diagnosis is vital to give people access to the care, treatment and support they desperately need.

What is dementia?
‘Dementia’ describes a group of symptoms that include problems with memory, thinking or language, and changes in mood, emotions, perception and behaviour. Dementia is a progressive disease, which means symptoms may be relatively mild at first, but they get worse over time. There are many types of dementia but Alzheimer’s disease is the most common. The next most common is vascular dementia.
