Is Trump losing his filter? Can that happen with dementia?

[leftyladyfrommo]

He seems to jut be shouting out whatever. This just gets wierder and wierder.

1. I personally think he's dying.

We had a dear elderly family friend who followed this pattern just before he passed away.

8. How "just before"?

Are we talking hours to days or months to years? Just how optimistic can we be for this one case?

And sorry about your loss. The long slow decline is the worst thing to see in a loved one.

9. Months

10. Thanks

Soon. But not soon enough in his case.

health issues as well. All that expensive medical care can only do so much after years of terrible lifestyle choices.

2. That very much can be a symptom of Dementia

[RockRaven]

3. Maybe (bar so low, hard to tell), and yes.

[MineralMan]

4. It definitely can. I've watched it happen with two people.

5. ABSOLUTELY.... with Dementia

the filters no longer exist and it becomes more difficult to remember where the line is.

I expect him to ship it out and piston his shoes in public any minute now.

(Went through this very painfully with my dad) You have to ask yourself where are his children.

Everyone hates him, including his own family. This has always been his Achilles heel, He has NO FRIENDS... not one.
In the end no one will stand with him.

7. He will have "friends" so long as he is useful to them

Who knows how longer that’s true.

11. Never friends... only pilot fish

As soon as the shark stops moving they will find another shark.

6. "Disinhibition" is very much associated with dementia. nt

[Bmoboy]

12. ECT can do that too

I worked on a.psych ward. One patient getting ECT was a retired nun.

The nuns visiting her after treatments were shocked by her colorful cursing.

13. They do go to a yelling stage

[mopinko]

14. a former du'er and good friend had a hella time keeping caregivers for his dad

cuz he kept chasing them around and groping them.
not something he EVER did.

my mom got quite nasty. used to say about her- wouldnt say shit if she had a mouthful. but they way she talked after…

[Ocelot II]

16. Yes, absolutely.

Another type of dementia-related disinhibition is undressing. I hope he doesn't take his pants off.

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. God! I hope he doesn't either. nt

17. Based on my experience with my father

the good comments get better and the bad comments get worse.
