The disease is very variable, and his was juvenile onset, which is known to progress very slowly in many. I personally knew a psychotherapist who lived for more than 30 years after the diagnosis - saw patients for the first 25
Has he lived so long because he got the disease when he was young and had the juvenile-onset type?
Juvenile-onset is diagnosed in the teenage years, and I don't know enough about his course to say. But it's probably something similar to juvenile-onset disorder, which is something that progresses very, very, very slowly. I have patients in my clinic who were diagnosed in their teens and are still alive in their 40s, 50s or 60s. But not having ever examined him or taken a history, it's a little hard for me to say.
