What Is Lou Gehrig's Disease?
5. Dementia
Lou Gehrig’s disease will also sometimes cause the patient to develop dementia, which is an overall loss of cognitive ability. This will often mean that the patient begins to struggle with decision making, and even the easiest of mental challenges can become very difficult for them.
Lou Gehrig’s will also sometimes lead to memory loss. The memory loss can be severe to the point where the patient even forgets their spouse, their children, and other people who have been in their lives. The patient can also undergo some considerable changes in their personality and they can act in ways that are very uncharacteristic for them.
