Can teens have dementia?? ?


Hi I'm fifteen and dementia runs in my family. My grandmother had it, and her mom had it, etc etc.
Anyway, my mom told me that the good thing is that each generation the symptoms are coming later and later on in life, like my grandma is eighty-something right now, and she's only just started showing the symptoms about a year ago.

Anyway, I feel like I AM showing a lot of symptoms of it, sort of. I don't really want to say that I am because to be honest I do not know much about it, but I have been so forgetful/spacey lately. Maybe it's just because I've been stressed out with school, but I'm sort of always like this, it's just been getting worse.

For instance, I have a "routine" in the morning. And lately I've been forgetting what to do after I get out of the shower. Like, I know to dry myself, but do I usually start with my hair, my feet?? And then do I blowdry my hair and THEN put on makeup? Or is it the other way around? And do I put the eyeliner on first, or the mascara? And

And I always loose things, like all the time. My calculator, my wallet, my very important papers and homework assignments. I forget if I've taken my vitamins, or if I've already asked someone something

Is it possible to have it at this age of fifteen??? Or could it be something else??

It's probably not dementia, it's probably just short term memory loss. If you are worried or it starts affecting your health or safety, contact a doctor!

with all the things that have really happened in this world that people seem to understand why, but dont ever question why people have to or can live in a world that has already been used,., if you can live in a new enviroment , i deem dementia rampant!!!

no....maybe just hormones. Consider having a nathropath visit, and seek a good natural remody...try ginko bulba etc
