A Lanarkshire graduate has spoken out on how early-onset Alzheimer's left her grandmother 'a shell of what she was' before the cruel disease took her life aged just 68.
Margaret Quinn was first diagnosed with the disease in 2011 when she was 59 years old. She passed away in 2021 after an arduous, 10-year battle with the disease.
Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia in the UK, according to the NHS. Dementia is the name for a group of symptoms associated with an ongoing decline of brain functioning. It can affect memory, thinking skills and other mental abilities.
