A 48-year-old man with Down syndrome is brought to the GP by his mother

A 48-year-old man with Down syndrome is brought to the GP by his mother, who is also his full-time carer. She has grown increasingly concerned about him over the past few months, as he seems not like his normal self – he appears to no longer have his usual cheerful disposition, being quiet, low in mood, snappy, and disinterested in his hobbies. She has also noticed that he has become more forgetful, and asks lots of repetitive questions about what they have been doing during the day.
