The Reality Of A Diagnosis At 49: A Conversation On Early Onset Alzheimer’s | Your Morning

Approximately 28,000 Canadians under the age of 65 are currently living with early onset Alzheimer’s - a diagnosis that shifts the reality for thousands of families across the country. Often referred to as young onset dementia, this condition brings unique challenges to those in the prime of their lives and careers. Blair Champion joins us to share his personal journey after noticing Alzheimer’s symptoms at the age of 49. Alongside him is Dr. Morris Freedman, Head of Neurology at Baycrest Health Sciences and one of Canada’s leading dementia specialists, to explain the medical realities of a “young” diagnosis and the importance of early detection. #EarlyOnsetAlzheimers #YoungOnsetDementia #BrainHealth #Baycrest #AlzheimersAwareness #CdnHealth #Neurology #DementiaSupport #HealthNewsCanada #MemoryLoss Subscribe to Your Morning for the latest: http://bit.ly/2hX11GF Connect with Your Morning: https://www.ctv.ca/shows/your-morning Follow Your Morning on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yourmorningctv Start YOUR MORNING with us.
