Their motto is usually 'mind over matter', the 'matter' being the ending of a person(s) life, I guess. Perhaps they have the solid mindset that the person they killed deserved to die so with this, they probably sleep better at night with that persons life snuffed out. A psychopath won't feel it perhaps. Those who are of stable minds do feel disgusted with themselves, I'm thinking.. but theres this theory where it is said that the brain automatically erases or fades away bad memories, given a lot of time. There may be a lot of psychological reasons to this but hey.. there are people who feels so disgusted with themselves that they can't bear to live with themselves and resort to suicide. Its a sad and cruel world we live in, huh?

Stroke, brain disease, blockage, MS, Lewie Bodies Dementia, Shy Drager, certain meds, shrinkage of the brain, too many opiates over a long period of time, severe alcoholism, lusk of the draw.  That is to name a few.  A lot of the diseases that cause dementia cannot even be diagnosed accurately until afer death, if an autopsy is perfomed.  \n\nI am not a doctor.

Died, Sadly, Yes. And do to Drugs, Yes, However, Not by her own Doing. I believe through continuing research, That she Was Delivered An Anal-Toxic Overdose, Hence, No tell-tale Signs In the Stomach. Hmmmm?

On November 5, 1994, Reagan announced that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He informed the nation of his condition via a hand-written letter. With his trademark optimism, he stated in conclusion: "I now begin the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead. Thank you, my friends. May God always bless you." As the years went on, the disease slowly destroyed his mental capacity, forcing him to live in quiet isolation. By late 2003, Reagan had begun to enter the final, fatal stage of Alzheimer’s disease.

No.  But I do think we will be able to bypass certain types of brain damage with chips (processors) implanted in the brain.  There were some tests being done on this and I can't find the link anymore (figures) but they have expirimented with linking your brain to a computer, it works... the interface is slow... but it works.  And someone who had brain damage (forget what type) is now living a fairly normal life because a chip in their brain has taken over the function of the damaged part.

Try this...\n\nResearch indicates the frontal lobes are connected to the basal ganglia, and the central aspect of the cerebellum are most likely involved in this disorder (A.D.H.D.; Formal definitions). American teachers identified A.D.H.D. in 25.5% of a group of 6,171 children but parents only identified 7.8%. Research has found, that in a study of four communities in the U.S., only 12.5% of children diagnosed with A.D.H.D. had been treated with stimulants such as Ritalin, Adderall and Concerta (A.D.H.D; Incidences).\n\nWhat I found:\n\n1. Space (" ") between left parenthesis ("(") and start of content.\n\n2. Missing commas (",") between items in a list\n\n3. Some punctuation in the form of commas was added to improve readability\n\nOverall, you did okay.

yes, along with loss of balance, shuffling gait, slow thinking and difficulty moving and possibly dementia as the disease progresses.\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/parkinsonsdisease.html

Alois Alzheimer's, a doctor and academic, presented a key paper to the meeting of the South West German Society of Alienists on the 3rd November 1906. It was the first paper describing a clinical case of dementia and was an examination of the behavior of Frau Auguste D.\n\nFrau Auguste had been admitted to the Municipal Mental Asylum in Frankfurt-am-main, Germany on 25th November 1901 at the age of 51 years. The senior physician at the hospital was Dr Alois Alzheimer.\n\nBy the time she died in April 1906, only 5 years later, Dr Alzheimer had moved to the Anatomical Laboratory of the Royal Psychiatric Clinic, Munich University as a co-worker to Dr Kraepelin. Frau Auguste D's brain was sent to Alzheimer and his findings of plaques and fibrules formed his hypothesis that there was an organic cause for her condition. The translated paper, only three pages long, describes symptoms that included, disorientation, aphasia, auditory hallucinations, paranoia, unpredicable behavior and pronounced psycho-social impairment. It is interesting to note that Alzheimer made no attempt to place the case in any sort of social or environmental context. Frau Auguste D's past life and institutional incarceration seem to have been ignored completely as a possible explanation of Frau D's mental state.\n\nDr Alzheimer's description of organic changes, atrophy, neurofibrils, and plaques linked to dementia was not a new discovery, yet it is his name that we link to dementia in most cases. Why should this be?\n\nAt the time, the first attempts were being made to classify illness and disease both organic and psychiatric. Kraepelin, probably better known for his classification of schizophrenia, is the pivotal figure. It was he that incorporated the study by Alzheimer on Frau Auguste D in his 1910 eighth edition textbook 'Psychiatrie'. Kraepelin stressed the role of organic changes occuring in the brain in his theories of mental illness. He described 'Alzheimer's disease' both as a distinctive disease that resulted from the action of a single cause and a distinct subcategory of senile dementia. In so doing Kraeplin describes the clinical behaviors that formed a set of distinct symptoms resulting from a specific organic cause.\n\nOther exponents in the field could just as easily have been the figure head for a disease category, and instead of Alzheimer's disease we could easily be talking of Bonfiglio's disease, Fischer's disease, Fuller's or Perusini's dementia. Alzheimer just seems to have been in the right place at the right time. Kraepelin was making a name for himself as the head of the large Munich academic institution, he needed to increase its prestige and influence, what better way to do it than by using someone from the same department.\n\nAlois Alzheimer died aged 51 of tonsillitis which had resulted in nephritis. In his life time he published 19 papers on subjects as diverse as eplilepsy, the classification of psychiatry, general paresis as well as on dementia. He could have little idea that his name would become an internationally understood description of a disease suffered by millions of people.\n\nAlois Alzheimer born June 14 1864 in Marktbreit, Bavaria. Died December 19 1915 in Breslau.

I heard recently she did not have Chron's disease like they thought, she had an intestinal blockage that could have been surgically removed and she would have lived.\nSo sad.

Last report I can find if from November 6th, stating, "Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was taken out of intensive care Monday morning, four days after he was admitted for a dangerous infection, the Haim Sheba Medical Center announced. His condition has improved and he was transferred from the intensive care unit to the respiratory rehabilitation ward."\n\nDoctors said that Sharon, comatose since suffering a stroke in January, had been moved to intensive care when the infection threatened his heart. The infection was "identified and treated" and Sharon showed improved cardiovascular performance.\n\nThe most recent worsening in Shaorn's condition was registered this past August, when he was also transferred to the ICU. A short while later the former PM was moved back to the Respiratory Rehabilitation Unit, and the hospital then said that there has been major improvement in the condition of his lungs and kidneys. \n\nSharon suffered a massive stroke on Jan. 4 and has been unconscious ever since. The former PM suffered a stroke with what was described as "significant" bleeding in his brain a day before he was to check into Hadassah Hospital for a procedure to correct a tiny defect in his heart that was said to have contributed to a mild stroke he suffered two weeks earlier. \n \nDoctors have come under fire from critics who questioned whether Sharon should have been treated with massive doses of anticoagulants after his first stroke, which was caused by a small blood clot in a cranial artery. Doctors admitted that the anticoagulants made it more difficult for them to stop the bleeding from the later hemorrhagic stroke.  See the link below for this article....

i read about that - i don't think it was a disease - i think it was just their genetic profile.

Hi,\nThe short answer is no. Here's why.\nAddiction is a brain disease. Abuse is a mind game. The brain always controls the mind. Try this. Tell your friend you will give him a hundred dollars if they can sneeze without blinking or closing their eyes while looking at you. You are sending a message of pleasure and reward to his mind, yet his brain says, no way "I'm closing those eyes".\n\nThe brain always controls the mind. Same with addictive disease. Once you start using again it is only a matter of time before he returns to active addiction with the original drug of choice.
