Symptoms can vary; things like trouble doing familiar things, getting lost, memory loss, a change in personality, are some some of the symptoms. There are other conditions that can have symptoms that are similar to dementia; for example a reaction to a medication or an infection.

A question from : What would you do if you had dementia but you wanted to join the navy seals?
I have dementia and every night I can’t even fall asleep because I am to scared to wake up and see or hear things. I really want to be a navy seal but if they knew I wouldn’t be aloud. Or I could tell a docter and maybe not have to worry about it anymore but I wouldn’t be able to live up to my dream. So any advice on what I should do?

Answer by MAJ Kev I’m no doctor, and have never played one on TV, but what you say you have does not sound like any dementia I’ve ever heard of. In fact, if you have dementia, then you are likely too old to even go into the military, let alone try out for the SEALs.
Bottom line, your emotional / mental disorder does sound like it is a disqualifying condition for enlistment as well as trying out for the SEALs.
I recommend that you contact a Recruiter and get some straight facts.
BTW: the word is “allowed”. “Aloud” means something completely different.
