I feel like diagnosis is more for the family and loved ones than the patient. My Daddy was diagnosed 5 years ago and STILL doesn’t comprehend that he has Alzheimer’s. All of us who love him understand that he is never going to understand that he has changed.

That’s the feeling I get. It would be more for us. I’m just so frustrated.
