DEMENTIA
I am not a doctor and what I am about to write is based not on scientific research, but on personal observation.
I think that the types of "dementia" that are not the result of physical trauma are the result of having lived in a state of denial for decades. I think that the people who develop dementia are those who trained their brains to forget and suppress that which they were not able or willing to deal with emotionally - until their brain was capable of nothing else.
I think, then, that "dementia" is an acquired illness that is
preventable.
