Donald Trump Health: Experts Warn of Possible Dementia and Cognitive Decline - What Is Happening To The US President?

Donald Trump Health News: Psychologists raise alarm over Donald Trump’s worsening health, citing signs of frontotemporal dementia. Experts warn of speech changes, memory loss, and unusual behavior fueling concerns.

Donald Trump, the former U.S. President, has been a buzz all over social media due to his health issues. Over the past few weeks, psychologists and medical professionals have expressed increased concerns regarding Trump’s condition. And now, according to Dr. Harry Segal and Dr. John Gartner, Trump has been exhibiting symptoms of a severe brain disorder, which questions his physical and mental health. The psychologists believe that Trump is showing signs that match dementia, as there have been observable changes in his speech styles, loss of memory and weird behavioural tendencies during different appearances.

Donald Trump’s Health Condition

Clinical psychologist Dr Harry Segal revealed that he’s been looking at Trump’s behaviour from two perspectives. “First from his malignant narcissism, that is a severe narcissistic personality disorder which results in Trump’s lack of empathy for others, his compulsive lying, his criminal behaviour,” he explained.

However, the psychologist added that more recently, he and fellow clinical psychologist Dr John Gartner have been talking about Trump’s “incipient dementia”. “Some of the more evidence that we’ve been talking about recently has been his psychomotor performance, that we’re seeing a deterioration in his motor performance, which also goes with dementia because with dementia there’s a deterioration of all faculties, all functions,” said Dr Gartner.

Donald Trump’s Latest Health News

Recent headlines have been filled with news related to the health of Donald Trump after he was seen in several instances where he appeared to forget himself, repeat phrases, and was unable to finish sentences. The videos of his speeches have been spread extensively, and experts have been studying his cognitive capacities in cognition.

Dr. Gartner revealed that he believes Trump may be suffering from more than one type of dementia, claiming the 47th President’s health has recently been exhibiting a “telltale sign” of frontotemporal dementia. One uncommon type of dementia that causes issues with behaviour and speech is called frontotemporal dementia. Like other types of dementia, this disorder affects both the front and sides of the brain and it usually worsens over several years.

“One of the things that one of the neuropsychologists that we were working with last year pointed out that is almost a dead ringer telltale sign of frontotemporal dementia is something they call a wide-based gait, where you have a sort of one of your limbs, one of your legs, you kind of swing it in a semicircle,” Dr Gartner explained.

What Is Frontotemporal Dementia?

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a severe brain disorder that can impair but is found in rare cases within the brain. This is a condition that affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which handle decision-making, movement, direction and personality and behaviour. FTD differs from Alzheimer’s disease, which in most situations can begin with the loss of memory; in contrast, FTD can begin with personality, communication, or motor changes. It normally starts between the ages of 45 and 65, but may occur at any age.

Symptoms of Frontotemporal Dementia

The symptoms will be based on the type and may include:

The impulsive alteration in personality or mood.
Under-socialised or dissociative behaviour.
Monotonous or obsessive habits.
Difficulties in speech, reading or writing.
This enhances diminished empathy or emotional flatness.
Poor walking, balance, abnormal gait (walking with wide steps, swinging leg with every step)
Amnesia (generally expressed at later stages)

Causes and Risk Factors

Its cause is not very clear, and it is associated with the accumulation of proteins in the cells of the brain on an abnormal basis.
These proteins destroy and kill the brain cells over time.
Genetic mutation leads to 30-40 per cent of cases that are hereditary in nature.
Being the daughter of a person diagnosed with dementia can put other patients at risk.
