Summary:

Younger people with dementia present a unique challenge to society and to those individuals who care for them. In the minds of many, dementia is a disease of older people with inevitable but unfortunate connotations of senility and decay. These perceptions are challenged when the disease tragically affects younger people. Younger People with Dementia: A Multidisciplinary Approach aims to provide knowledge and disseminate experience based on practice in caring for younger people with dementia. Younger People with Dementia: A Multidisciplinary Approach focuses on the experiences of the team developed by the Manchester Mental Health & Social Care Trust that specializes in the care and support of younger people with dementia.
