Father Diagnosed, What Now?

SuperStone01

Hello everyone! My father was just yesterday diagnosed with EOAD after his father was hit with Alzheimer's, and his brother is exhibiting the same symptoms. In January my father will be tested to see if there's a genetic link, but my understanding is that it will be almost certain that I will have the same condition this is conclusive. I am currently very distressed as I watch my father undergo the same process his father did, and I am afraid that the same will happen to me. At this time, I'm not sure what the best route is to proceed in regard to coping with both ends. My significant other is concerned for my wellbeing as I navigate the anxiety of this, and it would be very helpful if anyone could share any resources for proceeding or how to go about getting help regarding the mental health end of this. I really appreciate your time and energy!
