Young onset dementia – improving the diagnosis process for people with atypical symptoms

The webinar focused on why specialist interventions and assessments are needed when young people present with non-memory led dementias. We discussed the importance of expert knowledge and access to further investigations within a clinical setting. Plus how accessing information and guidance at an early stage can support families throughout the whole process.

Julie, a Rare Dementia Support member living with posterior cortical atrophy, shared her views on why specialist knowledge and investigations are important when assessing and diagnosing a person with atypical symptoms.
