The television presenter says she has dementia after battling brain fog and anxiety for months.
Fiona Phillips has said she has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the age of 62.
She said that despite fearing she would one day be diagnosed with Alzheimer's, it had still come as a shock when her doctor said her test results showed early stages of the disease.The presenter said that she felt "more angry than anything else" because the disease had already had such an impact on her family life.
Phillips said she was undergoing trials at University College Hospital in London for a drug called Miridesap, which could potentially slow the effects of the disease. Ms Phillips currently writes a column for the Daily Mirror and previously anchored GMTV for more than a decade from 1997.She has spoken publicly about her parents' battles with Alzheimer's in the past.Kate Lee, chief executive at the Alzheimer's Society, praised Phillips' decision to share her diagnosis, which raised "much-needed awareness of dementia".
