Millennial Caregiver Series: My Parent Has Dementia and I'm Only 35

What do you do when your parent is diagnosed with dementia while you're still in your 30s or 40s? If you're a millennial caring for a parent with dementia, you may feel like you're carrying more than anyone realizes.

In this episode of The Disappearing Mind, host Dawn Platt explores the unique challenges facing younger caregivers — from balancing work, children, and finances to navigating grief, isolation, and life-changing decisions no one expects to make so soon. If dementia has entered your life earlier than you ever imagined, this conversation offers practical guidance, reassurance, and a reminder that you're not walking this journey alone.
