What is Young Onset Dementia (YOD)
Dementia is an umbrella term for a range of progressive conditions that affect the brain and lead to changes in thinking, behaviour and functioning. Young onset dementia (YOD) is any form of dementia that develops before the age of 65. The risk of developing some types of dementia increases with age. As a result, there are more people within older age groups who develop symptoms and receive a diagnosis of dementia. This may explain why dementia is frequently but mistakenly considered a condition of old age. In fact, albeit more rarely, all types of dementia can develop in adults under the age of 65. Indeed, some rarer types of dementia have a typical age of onset in people who are in their 50s and 60s. In some cases dementia can occur in people in their 30s or 40s.
The most common forms of dementia in younger people are Alzheimer’s disease, Vascular dementia, Frontotemporal dementia and Lewy body dementia. Around 20% of younger people with dementia have a rarer form of the condition, such as Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) or Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). There is a wide array of rare conditions that can lead to dementia in younger people, including rare genetic disorders.
Over 70,000 people are living with YOD in the UK. This is 7.5% of people with a diagnosis of dementia in the UK. There are estimated to be 92 people per 100,000 of the population diagnosed with dementia between ages 30-64. In Scotland, this means that there are about 5,300 with a YOD. For further information on YOD definition and prevalence you can visit the Young Dementia Network website.
https://www.youngdementianetwork.org/about-young-onset-dementia
What are the symptoms of dementia?
In people under the age of 65, the initial symptoms of YOD are not always recognised. Initially, symptoms may be attributed for some time to other causes, such as menopause, anxiety, depression, stress or relationship issues. This can result in delays in getting a diagnosis.
Dementia is often associated with memory problems, such as forgetting recent conversations or upcoming appointments. However, the early symptoms of some types of dementia commonly seen in younger people (e.g. Posterior Cortical Atrophy or Frontotemporal Dementia) may not be memory loss. Symptoms differ depending on the type of dementia a person has, and which parts of the brain are affected. A good working knowledge of common and rare types of dementia can be very helpful in correctly identifying the initial symptoms, offering relevant assessments, and reaching an accurate and timely diagnosis of YOD.
As mentioned before, symptoms depend on the type of dementia and which parts of the brain it affects. As the conditions that lead to dementia are progressive, symptoms worsen over time. The exact symptoms that a person experiences, and the rate of progression over time, differs from person to person. Symptoms typically impact on a person’s ability to complete their daily activities (e.g. remembering commitments, shopping, use of technology), functioning at work, and relationships. Often colleagues, family and friends can be the first people to notice early symptoms. Sometimes the person with dementia might not have awareness or insight into their difficulties.
If you wish to learn more, then it can be very helpful to know what type of dementia you or your loved one has been diagnosed with. Learning about the condition, symptoms, and typical progression can help you to better understand difficulties and how to meet any needs. You can follow the links below to access information leaflets on different types of dementia.

https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/types-dementia?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1982211334
The needs of people with YOD and their families often differ from the needs of people who develop dementia later in life. Younger people are more likely to:
A recent landmark study (The Angela Project) has shown that care improves for people with YOD where there are specialist services. If interested, you can learn more about the study and findings by following the link below.

The NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GG&C) YOD Service
The NHS GG&C YOD Service is a health-board wide service for people under the age of 65 years, their families and carers. This service covers Glasgow City, East Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, and Inverclyde. The YOD Service office base is at Gartnavel Royal Hospital, but all patient contact is arranged at a location suitable for the person with the diagnosis and their family.
The YOD service has 2 Clinical Psychologists, a specialist Community Psychiatric Nurse (CPN), and administrative support. The service works in partnership with Adult and Older People’s Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs), providing consultation, training, and interventions. For any questions about the service, please do not hesitate to email the YOD Service inbox below:
ggc.youngonset.dementiaservice@nhs.scot
The YOD service accepts referrals for Consultation from Adult Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs) during the period of assessment. The YOD service works closely with Adult CMHTs offering consultation and support during the period of assessment for suspected YOD. When a diagnosis is made by an Adult CMHT or by Neurology, the YOD service offers guidance on the care pathway ensuring that there is appropriate follow-up and Post Diagnostic Support.
Once a diagnosis has been confirmed, patients should be referred to their locality Older People’s Community Mental Health Teams (OPCMHTs). This is where patients can access specialist dementia support, including Post Diagnostic Support.The YOD service accepts referrals from OPCMHTs for direct input to the person with the diagnosis of YOD and their families, where specialist input is required.
The YOD service is unable to accept self-referrals. However, if you or a loved one have a diagnosis of YOD and you live in Greater Glasgow and Clyde, please do not hesitate to contact us at the YOD inbox address below, if you are unsure about what supports may be available in your local area.
ggc.youngonset.dementiaservice@nhs.scot
The type of support provided depends on the individual needs of the person with dementia and their family. This can include:
If you are worried about your memory or any other area of cognition, in the first instance contact your GP and arrange an appointment to discuss your observations and your concerns. It is helpful to tell your GP when the difficulties started; whether they have stayed the same, improved, or worsened; and to give a list of examples. If possible, attend your GP appointment with someone who knows you well, as they can also share (with your permission) any changes they have noticed.
Many factors that are not dementia can affect cognition (e.g. vitamin/iron deficiency, poorly controlled diabetes, low mood, sleep disorders) and some of those factors can be reversible. Your GP will take a detailed history of your difficulties and typically order a routine blood test and any other indicated tests to exclude reversible causes. They may also complete a brief pen and paper test to assess your cognition. Once the GP has completed their assessment, if no clear cause has been identified and there is ongoing concern that your difficulties could be early symptoms of a type of dementia, then your GP may refer you on to other services for more detailed investigations. This might include a referral to your local Community Mental Health Team or to a Neurology Service.
The clinician who made and shared with you the diagnosis of YOD (usually a Psychiatrist, a Neurologist or a Clinical Psychologist) will refer you for follow-up care to your local Older People’s Community Mental Health Team (OPCMHT). In Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Older People’s teams offer support and care to people with YOD and their families. Although people with YOD will by definition be under the age of 65 at the time of diagnosis, care comes from local Older People’s team. These teams have clinicians with expertise in supporting people with dementia and their families.
OPCMHTs are multidisciplinary teams of Psychiatrists, Nurses, Psychologists, Occupational Therapists and Post Diagnostic Link Workers. After you have received a YOD diagnosis, you should expect to receive an appointment from your local Older People’s team irrespective of your age. Please, see link below for a comprehensive list of OPCMHTs in Greater Glasgow and Clyde along with contact numbers.
Everyone in Scotland who has been given a diagnosis of dementia is entitled to a minimum of one year Post Diagnostic Support. This support is offered by Post Diagnostic Link Workers, a specialist role within OPCMHTs. Shortly after your care is accepted by your local Older People’s team, you will be allocated a Post Diagnostic Link worker. Occasionally, there may be a little wait, but typically after a few weeks a Post Diagnostic Link Worker will be in contact with you by phone or letter to arrange to meet you.
The aims of Post Diagnostic Support is to help you and your family to:

There is a part of us that can seek to discover meaning, purpose or hope in those aspects of our experience that matter most to us. This is often referred to as ‘spirituality’, informing our personal values and beliefs, and affirming that tears, laughter, pain and joy are all part of the human experience. Spiritual care is integral to the holistic person-centred care offered by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The spiritual care team is an inclusive part of health and social care teams who work alongside us and in partnership with other healthcare professionals.
‘Spirituality is central to our health and well-being. Spiritual well-being encompasses the physical, psychological, social and spiritual elements that connect to our individual response and reaction to life events such as joy, sadness, health, illness, birth and death. Spiritual care recognises and responds to the needs of the human spirit, and begins with encouraging human contact in a compassionate relationship, and moves in whatever direction need requires.’ (Adapted from Spiritual Care Matters, NES, 2021.)
NHSGGC registered chaplains are trained professionals who offer confidential, compassionate, inclusive, non-judgemental, person-centred spiritual, emotional and bereavement care and support for all hospital communities in our health board.
The spiritual care team are available to support and listen to everyone, including family and friends, staff, students and volunteers – this includes people of all backgrounds, faiths and no religious beliefs, who have equal access to the spiritual care service.
Chaplains in the Spiritual Care Service can support you by providing care that meets your needs. This may include:
Sanctuaries are available at many of our NHSGGC hospital sites. They are neutral, non-religious spaces available for everyone to use at any time of day or night and provide:
“Occupational therapy helps you live your best life at home, at work – and everywhere else. It’s about being able to do the things you want and have to do.” Royal College of Occupational Therapists, (2023).
Occupations are all the activities of daily living that you need, have and want to do. Everything from getting washed and dressed in the morning, to going to work or school, to hobbies and leisure activities.
Occupational therapists work with anybody who is having difficulty doing their occupations. Occupational therapists support people to recover and overcome barriers which are stopping them from doing what matters to them. We aim to empower you to actively participate in meaningful occupations to improve your mental and physical health and wellbeing.
Occupational therapists consider the person, the occupation and the environment. We look beyond diagnosis and limitations and focus on what matters to you. We look at the occupation and the environment to support you to make changes to help you to participate more. Therapeutic interventions will focus on daily activities that matter to you. We might also help you to adapt your home, school and work environments. We may provide aids/equipment if/when it is needed.
We all engage in occupations from the day we are born and then continue to do so throughout our life span. Therefore, occupational therapists work with children and adults of all ages with a wide range of conditions and differences. You can find out more about the different occupational therapy teams including how to contact them below:
Occupational therapists work across the hospital sites and in different specialities. The best way to contact your occupational therapist is by contacting the ward or department. You can find ward contact information on the Main Hospitals page.
Occupational therapists working with children and young people work in three teams:
You can find out more about children and young people’s occupational therapy and how to contact them on KIDS for Families.
