Jon Snow reveals Alzheimer's diagnosis at 78
Journalist Jon Snow, previously an anchor for Channel 4 News, has confirmed his Alzheimer's diagnosis. This illness is identified as the most widespread form of dementia. The 78-year-old, who presented the news for 32 years, will discuss his condition in a Channel 4 documentary on June 20. He said he initially wanted to hide it because of the prejudice around mental decay.
