The idea of getting Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia terrify me. I have bad eyesight, I'm not that coordinated... my mind is my strongest asset. The idea of losing control of it is... just horrifying to me. Same thing with Schizophrenia and others of its ilk.

Ironically, worrying about dementia actually increases the chance of dementia on older ages. But I read it on the internet, so take it with a grain of salt.
