Ask The Doc - Dementia, Stroke, and Poverty Kills

Is dementia something that is age or genetic? The counseling good doctors give the families is to go ahead and plan for the worse. It is the loss of executive function that allows you to make the correct decisions in life. It is the brain not the age. There are several diseases that will “melt the brain” that are called Organic Brain Syndrome. Many progress at different speeds.
There are a lot of facilities called Memory Care Facilities and what is it? There is more supervision and assistance for the patient.
The brain is very complex. There are strokes that cause different levels of affects to the patient. The odds of having another stroke is high.
Massive deaths in the past few years of working aged people. It is very worrisome.
A Doctor's Rule: Patients have choices.
