Childhood Dementia

"Childhood" and "dementia" are two words we wish we didnt have to use together. But sadly, around1,400 Australian children and young people live with currently untreatable childhood dementia.

Brothers Michael, aged 6, and Oliver, aged 2 both living in Washington were diagnosed with 'Type 2 Battens' disease in April and May, respectively.

Initially, Gianna Cabo's brain fog was thought to be a symptom of long Covid because she had been severely ill with coronavirus in June 2020.

Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, dementia and arthritis, as well as childhood illnesses. So is sunshine and oily fish enough or should you take supplements?

Low IQ in childhood may make one more vulnerable to developing a common form of dementia in old age.
