Presenile dementia
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-009407
A progressive loss of cognitive function that begins before the age of 65. The condition involves memory impairment, personality changes, and a decline in reasoning ability that interferes with daily life. While Alzheimer's disease is a frequent cause, this early-onset dementia can also result from frontotemporal dementia, vascular issues, or Huntington's disease.
