Young onset dementia: Prevalence and severity of neuropsychiatric symptoms

Takeaway

  • Neuropsychiatric symptoms in institutionalised patients with young onset dementia (YOD) show a variable course but high overall prevalence, severity and persistence.

Why this matters

  • Early identification and a better understanding of neuropsychiatric symptoms in people with YOD will help to provide them with more appropriate care.
