Veteran journalist Jon Snow ‘bowled over’ by support after Alzheimer’s diagnosis

Dr Sonya Miller, medical director at TauRx Therapeutics Management, said: “Jon deserves praise for his willingness to speak publicly about what it is like living with Alzheimer’s disease, and his words will certainly resonate with many of the estimated 982,000 people across the UK who live with dementia.

“With someone in the world developing dementia every three seconds, it is clear this is one of the globe’s greatest unmet medical needs. However, there is hope on the horizon with multiple treatments under review by regulators or undergoing clinical trials. It is critical that people follow Jon’s lead if they feel they – or a loved one – are experiencing any symptoms and speak to their GP.”
