"Unveiling Early-Onset Dementia: Misinterpreting Midlife Challenges"

Jana Nelson, a 53-year-old woman from Idaho, initially thought her severe mood swings were caused by a brain tumor, but it was later revealed that she has early-onset dementia. Her symptoms, including difficulty regulating emotions and cognitive decline, led to a diagnosis of Stage 4 dementia, which has since progressed to Stage 5. Nelson's condition is attributed to fetal alcohol syndrome, hydrocephalus, and repeated concussions. She has found support and guidance from others with similar conditions and is preparing for the need for full-time in-home care within the next year.

Breit's clinic aims to prevent foot infections through regular foot care, which is much less expensive and time-consuming than treating infections. The clinic only accepts private pay for services, and the cost is $150 per visit for new patients and $100 per visit for established patients. Breit is also licensed to offer other types of general medical care.
