Abstract

The onset of dementia is after 65 years. Though there are evidence reported in the past regarding the onset of dementia before this age, it is very rare. Studies carried out in the past have concentrated on the site of lesion, genetic base for the young onset dementia and the studies focusing on cognitive linguistic profiling are extremely rare. The current study focussed on the cognitive linguistic profiling and profiling the effect of dementia on the activities of daily living. The findings suggested that the cognitive linguistic deficit was very severe and had a note-worthy impact on the activities of daily living. This is pivotal in designing the plan of intervention and deciding the course of treatment.
