Dementia Sign #4: Mood Changes
People with dementia often suffer from changes to their mood. These changes can be in the short term - for example, people with dementia are more prone to spontaneous mood changes. They may be happy one moment, sad the next, and ecstatic the next.
Sometimes people develop more consistent mood changes. Depression, for example, is more likely to emerge in someone suffering from dementia. These mood changes can manifest in a person’s behavior: someone known for being outgoing may become introverted, or vice versa.
