    My grandma passed away from dementia a couple of years back. My mom has symptoms of ADHD. I am diagnosed with ADHD. The only person in the family to get diagnosed and actively treating with meds and stuff.

    I wonder if knowledge and meds can stave of dementia.

      I wouldn’t stress out of it. You might learn that stress is what causes dementia.
