Uncle officially diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. He's only 57 years old...
Does Alzheimer's vary in severity? Or is it pretty uniform? What can I do to try to comfort my aunt/cousins without making it seem like he's dead?

Are there signs you can see before a diagnosis? Are there any ways to prevent it

No other condition has a stronger correlation to Alzheimer’s. It’s not close.
