Hope we can get some worthwhile information on this thread involving critical thinking and access to the best scientific thinking in the various fields that involve mental health.

And we are only now starting to pay serious attention to dementia. Spousal abuse among older people, people going ballistic in fast food restaurants and similar cases we read about in The Villages quite likely are the result of early stage dementia. Often undiagnosed, it can cause drastic personality changes. In the United States, around 37 percent of people with Alzheimer’s are 75 to 84 years old. Additionally, around 27 percent of those with Alzheimer’s are aged 65 to 74 years. That's us in The Villages.
