Nobody is asking for a professional opinion.....maybe just a little insight into something they are dealing with.

No one needs my permission, nor do I need anyones permission to comment. Just tell me what you think voicing an opinion to OP's original question will accomplish. It wasn't about permission, it was about unqualified people making guesses about a hypothetical question. At some point it's just verbal masturbation. If I were to say "yes, people who get angry when you force them to think about something different shows they have Alzheimers" what does my statement mean. Do we know if that person has had a good nights sleep? Does that person have an injury? Did they fight with a loved one and are upset about something we don't know about? It was an foolish question and I'm just trying to point that out as politely as possible. If the question was put the opposite way, would it make any more sense? If a person becomes angry (etc, etc) does it mean he does not have Alzheimers. Or does it mean he has a Urinary Tract Infection, or a headache, or a brain tumor, or anyone of a thousand different possible causes. Now can you see how foolish the question is? Here would be a much better thought out question. "If a person gets angry often for what appears to be no reason, should that person see a doctor".
