Is it possible to get dementia at an early age?

I don't know. I am a bit tired lately. It's been a wonderful yet exhausting time for me. It's just that I seem to forget some things and sometimes it takes a bit more time to remember simple things. Or am I just stressed? Is it possible for an 18 y.o. to have dementia? For now, I told my mom about this and she asked me to rest. I guess it would be best to take a lot of rest and maintain healthy living.

I don't know whether forgetting things is a symptom of ME, but you can get that at any age. If so, you do need to rest. "Solving the Puzzle of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" is a useful book, if that's what the doctor diagnoses. I do hope you haven't got CJD. If you have, get right with God while you can! Read John's Gospel.

Actually, it's a good idea to get right with God anyway.

Yes it's possible at about 30, but it's rare and is inherited that early. When we have a lot on our minds, we forget stuff. Relax, your mum's right.
