I have been an avid fan of Days of Our Lives for several years. However, after today I have decided never to watch it again. The introduction of Doug possibly having Alzheimer's or dementia could have been an opportunity for Days' audience to be enlightened about how one might experience these serious maladies. Instead, it was portrayed as "demon possession". I wonder how people and their families who are experiencing Alzheimer's or dementia feel? There is absolutely no relationship between these diseases and the devil. I decided that I can no longer watch a show that portrays mental illness in this way.
