Ive cared for my mum for many years, more recently due to severe memory impairment from a second stroke over a year ago. My Mum’s memory is rapidly declining, along with cognitive difficulties and some hallucinations. But due to her age - 57, we are finding it impossible to get any assesments or support. It’s ridiculus and cruel to be honest! It all seems quite hopeless and I'm scared for where this rapid decline is heading…..

My wife was diagnosed with early onset AZ more than 10 years ago, early 50's when she started to show signs.
It was put down to the menopause, kids leaving home and whatever but I did get help.
Brought my mum with an MCI to live with me too, and I find it strange that over a lot of years things seem no better. As suggested call the helplines posted about, you're never alone on here. K

My mum rapidly declined 7 weeks ago and I took her to hospital as she was hallucinating to the point she didn't recognise herself and everything was beyond my control and her safety was paramount, she has been there since - she too is 57. She got diagnosed on Weds this week - I feel you
I have no answers but my situation is similar. Mum diagnosed this year at age 58. It’s so difficult x
