Early Alzheimer's: A Young Family's Fight

John Green, from Surrey, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease in 2018 at the age of 56. His wife, Janet, noted that early signs like forgetting appointments and struggling at work were initially overlooked. The diagnosis in 2018 marked the beginning of a challenging journey, as the progressive illness affected his cognitive functions and behaviour.

At the time of his diagnosis, Mr. Green's youngest daughter, Evie, was 14. She began sharing caregiving responsibilities with her mother, a role that forced her to mature rapidly. Evie described experiencing anger and frustration as her father's condition worsened, leading to moments of avoidance.
