Yes, I had heard of that ridiculous claim, but I have never seen any facts from a professional.

she's not a psychologist or psychiatrist or has any sort of medical background to make that call.

--The meaning (of a person) unable to think clearly; bewildered.
You do not need a medical degree to figure out ones state of mind. You would need one to figure out what is causing it.

But nobody's ever stigmatized Alzheimer's

It may be hard for your viewers to remember how difficult it was for people to talk about HIV/AIDS back in the 1980s,” Mrs. Clinton, who was attending Mrs. Reagan’s funeral in Simi Valley, Calif., told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell. “And because of both President and Mrs. Reagan – in particular, Mrs. Reagan – we started a national conversation, when before nobody would talk about it.

Huma's email had to do with the concussion. That's a long time ago.

Hillary's statement was obviously incorrect, but to call it a lie would be silly - even if you have no trust in her, it would make no sense, since she would have nothing to gain from it. I think it's simply a combination of her vague recollection of the fact that Nancy Reagan did later (when it was already too late) start to make some supportive noises, and Hillary's exhaustion. I don't know how she and Bernie keep up this pace. Neither of them are young.
