My grandma passed away from dementia a couple of years back. My mom has symptoms of ADHD. I am diagnosed with ADHD. The only person in the family to get diagnosed and actively treating with meds and stuff.

I wonder if knowledge and meds can stave of dementia.

Every week there is an article linking dementia to this and that. I really can’t keep up with it anymore. At this point everything causes dementia.

I wouldn’t stress out of it. You might learn that stress is what causes dementia.
