Early Onset Dementia In Your 40s and 50s: 'A Current Affair' Report

Being diagnosed with dementia can be utterly devastating, not only for the person receiving the diagnosis but also for the family who watches on, and who ultimately become carer/s to the person with the dementia diagnosis.

Tracy Grimshaw from TV's 'A Current Affair' investigates the sadness of living with dementia, in this recent report.

Incredibly, one Australian gets diagnosed with dementia every six minutes.
