Coping After an Early-Onset Alzheimer's Diagnosis | Patient Perspectives | Being Patient
People don't expect that they'll have to deal with Alzheimer's in their 50s, but that is the reality for many families with loved ones who received an early-onset Alzheimer's diagnosis. In this episode of our Being Patient: Perspectives series, we speak to Judy Johanson, a clinical research ambassador for Massachusetts Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital. She cared for her late husband Steve after he was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at 59 years old. She discusses how families can support their loved one after a diagnosis.
