Anyone under the age of 65 who receives a diagnosis of dementia has what's referred to as "young-onset dementia"— and it’s a growing public health concern in Canada.
According to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, the number of individuals impacted is projected to reach more than 40,000 people by 2050.
That projected increase is even larger for Indigenous communities, where the report forecasts a 273 per cent surge in young-onset cases by 2050.
Katherine Ward reports on the challenges experts face when diagnosing the disease in young adults.
