Hi, my mother is 57 years old and she worked as clerk in the bank. Several months ago she started to have problems on the job as he experienced difficulties in her every day's. She started to forget some usual thing and soon she had to visit her doctor. After some examination her doctor told her that she is suffering from dementia. I was so surprised as I couldn’t believe that dementia may show so early.

Hi, what happened to your mother is so called early onset dementia. It is term for the people who experienced dementia in ages earlier than 65. It is very early but today there are examples of people who have dementia in their 40 years. There is serious decline in person's mental functioning even harder than people who get dementia in older ages.
