Britain's Youngest Dementia Sufferer Dies at 24, Donates Brain to Research

Andre Yarham, believed to be Britain's youngest dementia sufferer, has died at age 24. Diagnosed at 22 with frontotemporal dementia, his brain showed changes typical of a 70-year-old. Symptoms included forgetfulness, behavioral changes, and loss of speech. Frontotemporal dementia, which affects personality, behavior, and language, is less common than Alzheimer's and can strike early, often with a genetic component. Yarham's case is expected to aid researchers in understanding the disease.
