[QUOTE="witzend, post: 117283, member: 99"] My grandmother died in the 1970's after many years of what was then called "senile dementia". I suppose that now it would be called "early onset Alzheimer's", but in reality, Alzheimer's can only be diagnosed after death, and there can be many other things that cause these symptoms. I don't know that I would consider 60 years old to be too young for early onset Alzheimers. Whatever it was that grandma had, it was very apparent by her late 40's. There have been many advances since that time. A neurologist is the right place to start. Back in the day, there was only psychotherapy, and they just doped grandma up. Your husband could be very treatable and on the road to recovery quite soon. If you haven't seen it already, the Alzheimer's Association has a web site that you might find helpful. We'll hope that this is not what is affecting your husband. [url="http://alzheimers.about.com/od/diagnosisissues/a/early_onset.htm"]Alzheimer's Assoc.[/url] [/QUOTE]
