Typically a young patient comes to my clinic around 25 - 30 year old and says Doctor have I developed Alzheimer's disease. Do I have dementia because I'm forgetting things. I'm not able to remember small things I can't remember names. I forget my presentation in the meeting. Can Alzheimer's or dementia affect such a young population? It can but it is far too rare. Typically there's an entity called pseudodementia which is a false dementia the most common cause of pseudodementia in young population or even in elderly people is anxiety anxiety and multitasking which leads to multiple things doing at a time specifically the mind is not able to register whatever is happening or what the other person is saying so if the mind is not able to register the person is not able to recall pseudodementia is a very important entity to recognize because it is important to prevent unnecessary tests and unnecessary medication. Pseudodementia or memory impairment due to anxiety, stress and multitasking can also happen because of vitamin B12 deficiency or because of thyroid abnormalities and treatment of these problems will help in treatment of memory problems. So if you are a young individual or if you are too much stressed and you are not having a good night sleep you are doing too many things at a time a multitasker and you have memory problems just remember it may not be dementia it may just be a pseudodementia. So kindly consult your neurologist and take care of your symptoms take care of your life.
