4. Personality Changes
It’s not just mood swings that you should look out for as potential warning signs, but also any personality changes that aren’t common to the person as you know them: If someone is overly friendly where they have been known to be irritable, or suddenly mean where they used to be terribly nice, then it can be considered a severe personality change and you need to keep a closer eye on it.
Personality changes like these, including mood swings (but not limited to them) are common with developing Parkinson’s disease; you might also expect to see the beginning stages of dementia, as the two disorders can go hand-in-hand. Note any changes in personality or routine and report this information to a medical professional who can do the necessary tests.
From there, Parkinson’s disease can be managed and effectively controlled – though it’s a condition that’s best spotted early, so if you see any of this symptoms you shouldn’t wait to get to a doctor: Go immediately.
