In his Comment in The Lancet Psychiatry, Robert Howard¹ bravely shared his personal questions on the diagnostic uncertainty of some dementia advocates, and I suspect others might be similarly perplexed. I would like to provide some personal observations from the USA to narrow the gap between the purely medical model of dementia and the lived experience of Persons with Dementia.

毫无疑问对痴呆症的倡导

罗伯特·霍华德（ Robert Howard ^1）在《柳叶刀精神病学》（The Lancet Psychiatry）中的评论中，勇敢地分享了他对某些痴呆症拥护者的诊断不确定性的个人问题，我怀疑其他人可能同样困惑。我想提供一些来自美国的个人观察，以缩小痴呆症的纯粹医学模型与痴呆症患者的实际经历之间的差距。
