My heart goes out to this poor lady and everyone that suffers from dementia, it’s a horrible and cruel disease. This article also shows how ignorant some people are, there are even children and teenagers with dementia. Hazel Hawke was diagnosed early with Alzheimer’s too which was well publicised, she wanted people to be aware of that at the time she was diagnosed to help educate people about the condition. 

Women also have cognitive issues due to menopause which can start early and stress can exacerbate our cognitive abilities.
