There is enough testing now that you probably will. What stinks about it is even if we got some sort of right to die by the time you would want to you would not be competent to and early on if your taken care of its not so bad. Like being a kid again. Later though. oof. would not wish that on anyone.
not that I know of but my sister got diagnosed before it hit her to hard and she started on some medication in the hopes of pushing it off. They just asked their primary care.
Yes it is the worst and as you age your trying to figure out how much you sorta always did this and if its increasing.
I’m worried that I’ll never know if I’m getting Alzheimer’s.

Is there a test I can take now as a baseline for later comparison?
I realize this is a question for a neurologist or psychiatrist rather than Lemmy, but, you know… USA! USA! USA!
I’ve heard of the Brain Health Registry: https://my.brainhealthregistry.org/
But I have no idea how well it works
