Thanks, David.
I'm happy to be here.
You're absolutely right.
Most people equate
dementia as being Alzheimer's because that's what people are familiar with, that's what they've heard.
In fact, there are several types of dementias.
Alzheimer's is one of them.
It is the most common, but it is just one.
So just saying dementia isn't really correct.
If one wants to emphasize Alzheimer's, they should just say Alzheimer's.
The second most common is frontotemporal dementia.
People have just been saying, Donald Trump has dementia.
So people equate that with Alzheimer's.
And no, he does not have Alzheimer's.
If he had Alzheimer's, it's like, God, I wish he had Alzheimer's.
The world would be a better place if he had Alzheimer's and was diminishing and going away.
like in Ronald Reagan's last couple of years.
He had Alzheimer's.
