5. Mood changes
Another early sign of Alzheimer’s disease is experiencing rapid mood changes. Swings in personality and mood can happen anytime, but if they are accompanied by confusion, anxiety, and depression, it might be time to contact your doctor.
For example, you may spot your spouse arguing with your neighbor about a completely random thing. You may even find him/her irritated by something that used to bring him/her joy.
So, if that’s the case, call your doctor. Even if there’s virtually no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, a doctor can prescribe certain meds that may slow down the progression of this awful disease, as well as supporting the patient’s family with some surefire at-home care methods.
