Too Soon to Forget: The Journey of Younger Onset Alzheimer's Disease
Directed by Ted Kay2017 57m
Living with Alzheimer's disease is a challenge, changing life for both the person with the disease and their family. But what if someone diagnosed with this disease was in their early 60s, 50s, or even as young as in their 30s? Younger onset Alzheimer's disease affects people 65 years old or younger. Though the exact number of people with younger onset is unknown, the impact of living with Alzheimer's in midlife is great. Although there are many resources for those coping with Alzheimer's, very little information is available specifically for those facing younger onset. This lack of information and support leaves many families feeling misunderstood and often disregarded. Too Soon to Forget aims to change that. No one should have to go through this experience alone. Members of the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center's Support Group, Without Warning, know the importance of community and helped to create Too Soon to Forget. With the stories of these nine families, we trust this documentary will begin a national conversation that encourages awareness, understanding, and acceptance. Too Soon to Forget has been selected by American Public Television and is currently airing on Public Television.
