One Final Day of Freedom: Woman with Alzheimer's Learns her Diagnosis
- last year
A woman diagnosed with depression which turned out to be Alzheimer's in her 50s was given a day of "freedom" before her children told her about her diagnosis. Linda Sutherland, 68, was diagnosed weeks before her 60th birthday, after suffering from a short temper, weight loss and memory loss. After the death of her husband Ronnie, aged 66, the changes were blamed on depression, but son Graeme Sutherland, 31, thought something else was behind it.
