Having known a number of people with Dementia/Alzheimers including my mum and wife's mum as well as other residents of the care home they were each in. It's certainly a disease that affects everyone differently and how long it takes someone to determinate varies greatly. On such a personal level too, it takes a lot to wrap your head around and even accept it. Wife's and husbands are usually those who struggle most with acceptance and then willingness to seek and accept help.

Yes, it's a terribly sad disease, including for those around them.
We all have our problems, but there is always someone worse off than ourselves.

I still don't understand what you mean. Are you saying this in reaction to the Government saying that depression & anxiety should no longer qualify for sickness/disability benefits and that sufferers should be required to go back to work?
If so, these conditions can be very debilitating. I suspect that the Government know this and it's electioneering to try and appeal to their more right wing supporters.
The term 'neuro diverse' encompasses a host of conditions that affect th8ngs such as memory, cognitive skills, speech, personality, behaviour etc etc.
