I run into this a lot in my work. Sometimes it's obvious from talking with the person, sometimes I only know from looking at their list of medications. I recently had a woman get declined for life insurance due to some meds that are only used for dementia and Alzheimers. This woman still worked at the local city jail, rattled off about five insurance policy numbers and her routing and account numbers without looking at them. She was as sharp as anyone I've met, and you obviously aren't allowed to work around inmates if you have dementia or Alzheimers. So, either those meds were super effective, or there was an error in her records. If a diagnosis is pretty firm, I'd look into getting on those meds.
