How many people have gotten fired and lost benefits because no one knew this was what was going on. This both sad and scarry.

Very helpful and insightful. I have a question. What about someone who has a severe case of TBI that wiped their memory and they had to start all over again 28 years ago? The accident was due to military boots on the ground and the frontal lobe was what took the most damage from the accident. He is now 53 ( my husband ) how can I tell if he has the beginings of Frontal lobe dementia when he has a Traumatic Brain Injury? Are there different tests that can be done? Is there a difference between the two?

@jeanettesdaughter 4 жыл бұрын

Lisa Kesecker you have to know what it is and what all of the possible causes could be to treat it. How else to proceed? Scattershot? I’m observing it in my sister: the obsessive eating, the poor hygiene, compulsive behaviors, disinhibition and aggression. Her language skills were stellar ( law professor) so she can fool you with the rhythm of speech but the content isn’t there. Senseless repetition and monologues. Anyway, eating celery or whatever won’t restore these cognitive functions. Maybe her formerly healthy diet delayed some of them. Of course, there could be some improvement of certain symptoms with better diet, regular exercise and so on. These are the things that improve quality of life for everyone, ill or well. But the loss of gray matter is the problem, the loss of neurotransmitters that control everything we do. Don’t be so hasty. It took generations for people to connect hand washing to disease prevention! Hand washing. But even in that case once a patient was septic, gangrenous, all the hand washing in the world wouldn’t stop the growth of deadly bacteria at the micro level. . Discovery takes time. We/they know more today than we/they did yesterday. My sister started changing years ago, different people noticed different things but no one spoke up and she covered up brilliantly - until she couldn’t, until the ostrich approach by certain well meaning colleagues and others had nearly made her a danger to herself and other people.
