You want to know. My dad had frontal lobe dementia, not Alzheimer’s, but it got to the point that he attacked a cop and got put in a psych ward before we realized that it was more than just a guy who had anger problems to begin with just getting more crotchety.

Mercifully, when we got him to a nursing home after a few weeks, he died about a year later. But it was hard on all of us before that, especially my mother, because we really didn’t understand that this was a medical issue. I don’t know if there was something we could have done to make it better in terms of medical intervention, but at least we could have been prepared for it and not have to make emergency plans after he was thrown into a psych ward.

So you want to know for the sake of everyone around you.
