Dementia Cases to Double Every 20 Years.

[Bitchkitten]

It is logical.

Plus, I am pretty sure we are talking only about the "diagnosed" patients. Can you imagine how many mentally unstable people we will have FREE ON THE STREETS?

That is why Ï think that eventually we will be forced to scan the population and lock away those who doesn't prove mentally fit for society.

I'm not mentally fit and I don't want to be locked up. I like messing with society.

[NotRust]

I never like the use of "will double every [insert time period here]". By that logic, we'll all be demented within a century.

You ignore the fact of population growth. They aren't saying we're going from 20% of the population having dementia to 40%, but instead 20,000 with a global population of 40,000 to 40,000 with a global population of 80,000, not to mention increased access to healthcare and diagnostics, particularly in countries like India and China.

So how the hell is it our problem, then? It's China's problem, and India's problem.

Mind-scanners, man, mind-scanners!

You are the example of what is wrong in our society today. You should be receiving help, being medicated, and isolated of anyone else you could infect with your troubles.

I know mentally fit people that want to be locked up for the same reason as you do.

"Over the next 20 years, the numbers of people with dementia are anticipated to increase by 40 percent in Europe, 63 percent in North America, 77 percent in the southern Latin America ... and 89 percent in the developed Asia Pacific countries," said the report, from Alzheimer's Disease International.
"In comparison, the percentage increase is expected to be 117 percent in East Asia, 107 percent in South Asia, 134-146 percent in the rest of Latin America, and 125 percent in North Africa and the Middle East."
By 2010, an estimated 35.6 million people around the world will be living with dementia. The number is expected to hit 65.7 million in 2030 and 115.4 million in 2050.

It also gives you throat, stomach, esophagus and pancreatic cancer.

I've heard the opposite, that the tumeric powder in curry can prevent cancer or cause it to ease. However, at the time it was in the context of prostate cancer, so maybe curry just shifts the cancer around a lot.

It raises the level of agression. It maycause impotence and infertility...

I prefer to go mad.

But at least you'll be able to remember why you're angry. The only thing worse than being angry is being angry and confused.
Correction: There is actually something worse than being angry and confused, and that's being angry and confused and wearing pants that are wet for some reason that you can't remember.

It is a global problem. The number of cases will be growing in developing countries not because there are actually more cases, but because they will be properly diagnosed. It isn't like dementia is suddenly going to disappear from the West.

I am medicated. But I still enjoy messing with society. BTW, mental illness in not communicable.

True. What I posted is so contrary to my usual line of thought that I thought most people were going to get it.

In addition, I am one of those undiagnosed, uncontrolled, unmedicated insane people loose upon the world.

Better start leaving ourselves some notes on where things like the nuclear bombs are etc.

And eat more curry. *nod*

Is curry the cure, because there are lots of excellent curry restaurants where I live?

According to the article curry helps with memory loss and brain inflammation. It won't prevent it, but it helps.

It also gives you throat, stomach, esophagus and pancreatic cancer. It raises the level of agression. It maycause impotence and infertility...

Tastes good man.

No it doesn't. It tastes like hot coals. And smells really bad.

I hate curry.

I wonder if this is related to the post-World War II population growth...

This is a dangerous line of thought. This is like big brother thought crime shit. It should be avoided, what if someone in power decides that an opposing ideology is "unfit" for society. Maybe they think sexual desire is "unfit", or that homosexuality is "unfit", or atheism is "unfit".
