However, in some cases, dementia can develop as early as the age of 30\u2014this is extremely rare and referred to as &#8220;young-onset dementia.&#8221; <\/strong>Dementia typically first shows itself with symptoms like memory loss, common forgetfulness, or mild personality changes before progressing to further symptoms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-dementia\">What Is Dementia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When thinking of dementia, many people think about forgetfulness and memory loss. However, dementia is more complicated. Rather than being a specific disease, it&#8217;s an umbrella term used to describe a wide range of conditions and symptoms related to neurodegeneration\u2014damage to the cells in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dementia can be broken down into 2 simple categories: late-onset dementia and young-onset dementia. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/late-onset-alzheimers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Late-onset dementia<\/a> is significantly more common and develops near or after the age of 65.
