I'm late forties and can say in all honesty and seriousness that we likely have mild dementia and have significant chemically induced neurological damage. We breathed leaded gasoline exhaust, during some of our countries highest pollution levels and we also were breathing arsenic, and sulphur cyanide from Mount Saint Helens. pretty sure there's some Chernobyl and three mile island in there too.

our parents had the same loss, just more severe. To the point that they coped by just repeating themselves and telling us the same stories over and over like a malfunctioning video game character.
