The experience of dementia for individuals and families, when it is a younger person which is affected by the illness, is rarely considered. Existing specialist literature in this area is analysed in this article. Most work is rooted in a medical context but the social impact is important, particularly in relation to issues of the life-course. Examines the case for specialist service provision and argues for the development of new research agendas to locate the experience of early onset dementia (EOD) within a more coherent theoretical framework.
