Outbursts of uncontrolled anger are a common symptom of alzheimer’s/dementia beginning to degrade the prefrontal cortex and the brain’s emotional regulation.
Yep. I have an acquaintance with early-onset Alzheimer’s, and he has posted a lot about how emotionally disregulated he is. He’s fine in writing but he has warned his friends that if they visit him in person, he won’t be like they remember him.
I’m imagining that frustrating feeling of having the imprint of a thought but forgetting what it was, except all the freaking time. Must be hell.
It is hell, and I’ve watched my grandpa slowly slip into it. Not bad, yet, but enough that you can see the awful frustration.
If my mind starts slipping away like that when I’m old, I’ll probably just shoot myself honestly. It would be a preferrable way to go than gradually losing all my faculty until I don’t know who I even am.
Sorry to hear that, mate. That sounds really tough, even if you’re just observing the disease’s progression from afar.
Yeah, Trump’s too old and senile to be President. Weird too. Much too weird to be President.
Weeeeeeeeeird.
