Premature Senility Syndrome

📋Overview

Premature Senility Syndrome is a legacy medical term historically applied to individuals experiencing cognitive decline and neurodegenerative symptoms before the age of 65. In contemporary clinical practice, these presentations are typically classified under Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease or other specific forms of young-onset dementia. The condition involves the premature deterioration of mental faculties, often accompanied by physical signs of aging, and was used before modern diagnostic criteria for specific neurodegenerative diseases were established.
