In today’s medical world it seems as if every doctor has a simple diagnosis broken into age categories. Every child under the age of 5 is diagnosed with Autism, every child over the age of 5 has add or adhd, adults have bipolar disorder and the mature adult, Alzheimers. It seems that doctors over perscribe and diagnose these diseases instead of looking at an individual as an individual. What about working with each person to rehabilitate them to the best of their abilities.  It is a joke. There are entire facilities dedicated to memory and Alzheimers, but yet everyone gets the same standard pills, general diagnostic testing and is then sent on their way until their next exam. Why have they wasted the concrete . and personal and goverment funding for these facilities when these facilities offer you less support then your own circle of influence. No doctor agrees and says the same thing. No one is willing to go the extra mile and really get to know their patient so that they may do right by them (I am generalizing here). 

People who were diagnosed with AIDS 20 years ago were handed a death sentence. Today there are many people living long and fuitful lives. If we look to discard people with dimentia or Altzheimers as if we could never change the fate of AIDS where would we be today? Someone has to buck the odds. Why can’t it be my mum or someone you love? This is a disease they can’t even really diagnose until death, but they all try and push this label on you.
