Hello Dear @steepup :)

It makes truly happy to hear my post has enlightened you about this topic.

There are many cultures that will dismiss dementia for regarding it just as an aspect of aging, or for what you said there "it may be considered spiritual". But, it is very important learning about it. Sometimes dismissing a medical condition can just make things more difficult for the person afflicted by it as well as for their family members.

There is only one thing in your comment I would like to make an observation about: dementia is a degenerative disease, not an infection. Ok? :)

Lots of love to you my dear.
