My Dad died with DLB in 2010, my Mum with Frontal Lobal Dementia in 2015 and my younger brother with Praecox Dementia a month ago he was only 50. I know Praecox is another word for scrizophenia but it's still a brain disorder.
I am very worried about my future and each time I forget something I question myself. I am 55, Mum passed at 80 and Dad 76.
I know Dementia is common but I realise I have a very high chance of getting this and I feel sick about it having watched them deteriorate I am scared. Should I have genetic counselling?
