According to researchers, dementia (also referred to as 'old-timers') may be pre-screened with a test and can be treated prior to onset.
I'm not sure I'd choose to be medicated for a potential ailment. What if I'm writing a great sci-fi novel in my 60's and the pre-dementia is my muse?
I guess we all can look forward to the golden years.

I just can't think about it. Everyday I'm sure I have one disease or another. When I get old and finally do get some dreaded disease, I don't know what I'll do. Alzheimers has got to be very painful for family members to deal with. Very sad.
It is terrible to consider but I know some seniors that just have a good attitude about it and don't dread it, they actually mock and joke about what's eventually going to happen. I find it helps just to listen to them, their stories and whatever they want to share.
