Indeed, dementia is often associated with old age, as the condition commonly affects older adults. But there is one type of dementia that can strike people at a much earlier age: young onset dementia.

Health professionals are not exactly sure what triggers such a harmful disorder in one so young, and there's currently no cure. But a number of signs and symptoms can indicate its early presence.
So, are you worried you might have young onset dementia? Click through for some clues.
