Hello,
My dad got diagnosed recently with early onset dementia (Alzheimer’s) he’s 64, I’m 21, an only child and a Speech and Language Therapist by profession, I have worked with dementia patients through work and have a high level of knowledge on the condition, which seems to make it harder for me to process his diagnosis. I’m finding it hard to find others who are my age with a parent with dementia and am struggling to come to terms with dads diagnosis and what I can do to help me process it.
