Times article / cognitive impairment / dementia Hi Carole, >>> I meant that whatever you call it: cognitive impairment,dementia,senility,etc. and whatever the causes: organicity,meds,etc.-the end result is the same. You've "lost it". Which is what I think most PWPs fear the most. I know I do. <<< I disagree! IMO there is a very big difference between cognitive impairment (not funny I agree) and a far worse and totally different disorder like dementia. Hans.
