| Abstract | Clinical issues of younger patients with Alzheimer's disease were reviewed. Compared to the patients with late-onset Alzheimer's disease, clinical symptoms are variable. Disease-progression is rapid, and psychological and economical damages on their family are always serious. Therefore, not only medical but also comprehensive social supports are necessary. Their psychological interpretation is also needed. |
