Lorraine<p>it took me several check outs from the library to get through this, but it is one of the most interesting, depressing &amp; dense books I’ve ever listened to &amp; am a better person for listening to it altho👀👀👀</p><p>After reading/skimming the peer reviewed <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/CovidPapers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CovidPapers</span></a> all of 2022 &amp; noticing <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/acceleratedAging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>acceleratedAging</span></a> all around me for the past year, learning about <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/dementia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dementia</span></a> was my goal for 2023 &amp; boy did <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/TiaPowell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TiaPowell</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/DementiaReimagined" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DementiaReimagined</span></a> deliver</p><p>Having never known about it, what I can say is, you definitely do not want this; it makes <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cancer</span></a> look like a🎄🎁</p><p>Book was published in 2019 when there were 75 million <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/babyBoomers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>babyBoomers</span></a> were approaching the prime dementia ages where 30-50% will have it by age 85. Post Covid tho, that number has risen %-wise &amp; age of onset lowered by DECADES</p><p>Symptoms aren’t straight forward b/c it’s not merely the stereotypical memory loss &amp; I realized one of my building neighbors had been suffering from it for at least 15 years after listening to all the presentations of different types.

Ok.. I’m a fatalist hypochondriac so perhaps slightly more than a “bit” but medical paranoia has been generally my friend, so I’ll continue being paranoid</p><p>The stories are harrowing but this book is definitely what I needed to know b/c mental decline will only be ever increasing all around as more time goes by</p>
