<s>[INST] I am a 69 year old male and last year I was diagnosed with early onset dimentia. This seemed like a misnomer to me since I had always believed that such a term was applied to people who exhibited symptoms of dementia in their 40 s or 50 s. Am I correct that I might more accurately be described as suffering from early or incipient dimentia, as opposed to early onset? [/INST] Hi and thanks for question. Dementia is condition in which it occurred mostly in old age after 50 years. Sometimes due to genetic linked up it comes early in some pt and one type vascular dementia also comes early. Main symptoms are forgetfulness in detailed it seems to be difficulty in doing your daily routine activity. Second you forget your path for home, things u put down at one place. Many times we see that u made a story after ask of what did u do yesterday? So Dementia is occurred at mostly in old age. Thanks </s>
