The following is quoted from: https://www.verywellmind.com/the-7-stages-of-dementia-symptoms-and-what-to-expect-6823696

 Stage 1: No Cognitive Decline  At this stage, the person is able to function normally and doesn’t exhibit any signs of memory loss, confusion, or cognitive impairment.

 Stage 2: Very Mild Cognitive Decline  The person starts to experience occasional lapses of memory, such as:

-Forgetting where they keep familiar everyday objects

-Forgetting names they once knew very well

Stage 3: Mild Cognitive Decline

The person may start to show symptoms such as:

-Getting lost while walking or driving, particularly in unfamiliar places    

-Reading something and retaining very little of it    

-Forgetting the names of people they’ve just met    

-Losing items of importance or value    

-Having trouble concentrating and performing complex tasks    

-Experiencing increasing difficulty in social settings    

-Frequently forgetting words and the names of loved ones    

-Performing poorly at work, to the extent that it becomes evident to colleagues

Stage 4: Moderate Cognitive Decline

-Lack of knowledge of current and recent events    

-Difficulty remembering parts of their own personal history    

-Trouble with organizing, planning, traveling, and managing finances

Stage 5: Moderately Severe Cognitive Decline

-Difficulty recalling an important detail such as their address, phone number, or high school    

-Disorientation in terms of place and time, such as confusion regarding the season, date, day of the week, or time of day    

-Difficulty counting backward from 20 by 2s or from 40s by 4s (provided they are educated and were once able to do this calculation)    

-Trouble with making decisions

Stage 6: Severe Cognitive Decline

-Difficulty remembering the names of their spouse, children, or primary caregivers    

-Lack of awareness regarding all the recent events and experiences in their life    

-Patchy or skewed recollection of their early life    

-Difficulty counting backward or forward to 10    

-Lack of awareness regarding their surroundings as well as the time and place    

-Inability to travel alone without assistance    

-Tendency to wander

-Paranoia, hallucinations, and delusional behavior, such as talking to themselves or believing their caregivers are trying to harm them    

-Obsessive symptoms, such as repeatedly performing cleaning activities    

-Agitation, anxiety, and even violent behavior    

-Loss of willpower, due to being unable to carry a thought long enough to complete the action

 Stage 7: Very Severe Cognitive Decline 

In the final stage, the brain appears to lose its connection to the body and becomes incapable of telling it what to do. 

Where on this spectrum does Joe fit? I think he's late 3, early 4.

The Rules for Liberal tactics:

  1. If they can't refute the content, attack the source.
  2. If they can't refute the content, attack the poster.
  3. If 1 and 2 fail, pretend it never happened.
  4. Everyone you disagree with is Hitler.
  5. A word is defined by the emotion it elicits and not the actual definition.
  6. If they are wrong, blame the opponent.
  7. If a liberal policy didn't work, it's a conservatives fault and vice versa.
  8. If all else fails, just be angry.

The 7th stage is not remembering how to spell Dementia. LMAO

From the little i've seen, he seems to forget where he is sometimes and wanders confused, and some words will come out jumbled even though he typically seems to know what he wants to say.  So maybe stage 3 if it is dementia.

Since you're not a doctor, nor have you examined the patient, you don't know what you're talking about.

No real doctor would even pretend to make a diagnosis without an examination. Duh

He is at 2 at most. My Dad had MCI for years before he progressed to 3 and 4. 

And I only know that because of EXTENSIVE IN PERSON OBSERVATION.

Oh look, you did the same thing with Trump.

Hypocrit much?

I know this is off-topic, but every time I see your avatar, I am reminded of the wise advise that the old man gives Gary at the bar, before he begins to puke.

Those aren't real professional doctors of psychiatry. And if they have professional credentials, they are violating professional ethical standards.
