I read in the news that Jeremy Hunt's going to implement a scheme to boost dementia awareness for over 40s! I'm so glad the government are doing this from a younger age and not from 65+

What do you guys think?

Are you going to have the test Olivia? I don't think I would, there would be nothing I could do to prevent dementia and any attempt on my part to spend my money and enjoy myself before it was too late would have me accused of deliberate deprivation of assets!

Hi,

I'm not sure on whether I'd go for the test in later life or not - I've had similar deliberations over genetic testing as my mum was diagnosed with AD at 55 but as you say, there's no certain way of preventing dementia so in many ways I'd rather not know!
