I am a physician and i have seen where this sadly leads all too often. Biden is displaying the same symptoms of most stage 5 dementia patients i have worked with. Stage 5 usually lasts around 1.5 to 2 years. After that he will enter stage 6. In that stage he will become emotionally unstable. Random agression, paranoia, denial, hallucinations and rage, are all part of it. Severe lapses of judgement, forgetting basic information about what he was just told or from his youth or his life will be common for him and grow frequent throughout that stage. Eventually he will forget who the people around him are and become completly mentally lost. That stage lasts about 1.5 years as well. After this he will enter stage 7 wich is the last stage and results in his death within a year or two. In that stage, his body will basically forget how to maintain essential bodily functions. This is very sad, but its an uncurable disease. God bless him. No one deserves this.
