This groundbreaking work rests on the belief that Alzheimer's is one of several types of dementia and in most cases is avoidable.

nickname asked:
Say you have a realative with dementia and everytime you visit they are happy but at the end ask if you are coming back tomorrow you know you cant but when you say no they get really upset and it takes 3 workers to hold them down, but if you lie and say yes, they are fine. But the thing is they probably wont remember the conversation, what would you do, is it ok to lie in this case?

Mesocyclone asked:
Why is Alzheimers disease becoming more and more common and projected to affect more than a 200% increase of todays cases by mid-century? I think that alzheimers isn’t a real disease, I think that it has just been given to much power by all the people that worry about it. Why else is it increasing at such a huge rate and what other reason is there for the rates of Alzheimers to increase with the more reasearch done on it and the more media coverage on it.
Also, why is it happening to people at younger ages?

pebbles asked:
I’m wondering what your views are on dementia/alzheimer’s patients being able to vote? Should they be allowed to vote? I know, my mother in law has dementia. She can’t pick out a matching outfit, but she expects to be able to vote. I asked her who she wanted for president and she said McCain. I asked her why and she said because he was in a war. I asked her opinion on some of McCain’s issues and she couldn’t answer. Are there already laws on this or is it a personal opinion?
Thanks everyone!
