Goofy laughter, memory lapses, forgetfulness, stammering, anger: signs of Alzheimer's and/or senile dementia?!


Question: Goofy laughter, memory lapses, forgetfulness, stammering, anger: signs of Alzheimer's and/or senile dementia.?
That's what GW Bush, the first Bush president, exhibited late in his presidency. A psychologist told me that he was on Halcyon and other drugs, some for jet-lag, some for other reasons. Now I see John McCain exhibiting those same signs. Is he getting a bit 'off.?' Don't get me wrong, I'm a Vietnam vet too (1968) and deeply respect his achievements...but is he "out of it.?" Sometimes he just has that 'lost' look...and that worries me. Poor guy. Does anyone have any information to either support or refute my fears.?Health Question & Answer

Either that or McCain is just a little off center from asking questions that run from one end of the political spectrum to the other all day.
