Your words, not my own. I understand what you are trying to say but your original statement implied that the dz does not touch your mind.

for someone that knew nothing about either disease, i suppose.

but both are highly publicized diseases and i'd reckon most people on here know that both deal with the brain.

anyway, to me "mind" implied mental processes. if i was talking about the destruction of cells or neurons acting cray cray i'd use "brain"

The mind doesn't exist outside of the brain.
