My YouTube Channel about MCI / "Dementia Lite"
Hi. I'm still in the building. (Introducing my YouTube channel)
I'm Ami. I'm 57, I have a PhD in Epidemiology, and I was diagnosed in late 2025 with what I personally call Dementia Lite — the clinical label is Severe MCI, but let's be honest about where that train is headed.
I started a YouTube channel called In Case This Ends Badly because I noticed that virtually everything written about MCI and dementia is written by or for caregivers. The patient perspective — from someone who is still here, still thinking, still fighting — is almost nonexistent.
So I'm documenting this. From the inside. While I still can.
I'm a PhD epidemiologist watching my own neurodegeneration in real time and treating it like the involuntary N-of-1 study it is. The channel is my airplane black box — a data log from the pilot's seat, while the engines are smoking and the flight attendants look very nervous.
The gallows humor is intentional. So is the science. So is the honesty.
If you are someone living with MCI or early dementia — not a caregiver, you — I especially want to hear from you. We're the ones still in the building and we deserve a seat at our own table.
