awareness

An English blogging doctor has a fascinating post in which he says that some patients who are unhappy at the stage where they see their dementia progressing become happier when the medication that was helping them is stopped and they progress further into a level of dementia where they are no longer aware of their losses. A painful thought.

John is not a very reflective person and is determined to make the best of his situation, so he doesn't seem too depressed by his losses. I wonder if he will be at a later point.
