Fiona Phillips has revealed that she is living with Alzheimer's at the age of 62.
The GMTV host was diagnosed with the most common form of dementia 18 months ago, after mistaking her brain fog for an intense menopause. According to Alzheimer's UK, age 65 is when a person's risk of Alzheimer's doubles every five years, but those younger can still develop early onset dementia.
Alzheimer's signs can be tricky to spot, as many of its symptoms can be mistaken as "normal" in older people. What could be seen as forgetfulness, stress or depression may actually be indicators of the debilitating condition.
