Awareness of diagnosis from the perspective of people living with early-stage Alzheimer's disease

People aware of their diagnosis using the term AD were younger, had more depressive symptoms, and poorer life satisfaction and quality of life compared to those without awareness of their specific diagnosis. Awareness of diagnosis was a common phenomenon in people with early AD negatively impacting their well-being and quality of life. Identifying and understanding persons’ representations of AD from the onset of the disease may be essential for early implementation of individualized interventions to enable well-being and maintenance of independence where possible.
