You need to bone up on negotiations with the devil. I suggest watching some twilight zone episodes.
Apparently all you want is the equivalent of a coma or lobotomy.

It happens. They just live in the past and appear to experience little to no fear. Content may be a better word than happy.
Dementia is more neuropsychiatric than neuromuscular.
But the neuropsychiatric of contentedness in the demented is only inferred from outward neuromuscular behavior. Is the loss of The capacity for inward concern and worry the same as contented? In that case a rock or vegetable is contented.
I would think Real contentedness requires at least subconscious appreciation of possibility, presently unrealized, of disagreeable discontent.
