No matter the age, Alzheimer’s disease is difficult. When someone is young, however, it brings a unique set of challenges:
- People with YOAD might have to stop working before financially or emotionally ready
- Isolation and depression are common
- Children might still live at home
- Family dynamics change greatly
- Family members are often juggling work, school, family and social responsibilities
- It is difficult to give up driving at a young age
