An author of the 1973 American Psychiatric Association standard says it was never meant to stop doctors from expressing their opinions based on public information.
Edit: changed the title from the site to say “Doctor That …” instead of “Doctor Who …”
I can’t pass up the opportunity to point out that that list of words was not part of the cognitive assessment that he “aced.” He forgot that list. Person, man, woman, camera, and TV were just objects in his field of vision at the moment he was speaking in the interview.
I’ve been pointing out his dementia symptoms for years now. Why does it still feel so shitty to be proved right by time? :-/
It was more to it than just her mental decline that caused me to go no contact on that day. I was told I was the reason why my son was autistic and I didn’t discipline him enough. Also on that day they told my daughter she was going to hell for having a psychology degree. My mother regularly through the years referred to my daughter as a bastard because we were not married when she was conceived. Like I said the problem was larger than my mothers dementia but that is what triggered it. The oncoming dementia and her sudden inability to keep her lies straight is how I figured out she was abusing my son.

I saw it happening to my mother. No one else did or they didn’t want to see it. Its part of the reason why I was cast out.
So sorry to hear. It happened to my father, too, but we all saw it.
