Early signs of dementia in young people in their thirties that are often ignored

Speech changes and vision problems are among the first — but often overlooked — signs of early-onset dementia, which can affect people in their thirties, experts warn.

Dementia is a condition that impairs memory and is usually associated with old age, as the vast majority of cases occur in the elderly.

However, cases of so-called "early-onset dementia", where the diagnosis is made before the age of 65, are increasing in Britain.

Experts warn that young people are unaware of the unique signs of this disease, which often differ from the classic memory loss seen in older people.

In an article for The Conversation, Molly Murray – an expert in the field of early-onset dementia from the University of the West of Scotland – points out that for many patients, the first sign of the disease is a problem with vision.

"According to research, in about a third of people with early-onset Alzheimer's — the most common form of dementia — the first symptoms include coordination problems and vision changes," she writes.

These concerns, according to Mail Online, can manifest as difficulties in reading or in everyday movements, such as getting dressed.

Critically, these problems do not stem from physical vision impairment, but from the way the brain processes visual information — so they are neurological, not ophthalmological.
