My Really Bad Mood Swings Turned Out to Be Early-0nset Dementia
New York Post ^ | Jan. 28, 2024 | Social Links forTracy Swartz

An Idaho woman experiencing severe mood swings thought she had a brain tumor — it turns out she has early-onset dementia.

“I had so much trouble regulating my emotions. I’d become so furious over things I usually wouldn’t be angry about, like people correcting me if I said something wrong,” explained Jana Nelson, 53, to SWNS.

“My doctor doesn’t see me living into my 60s and eventually I’m going to need round-the-clock care at home,” she added. Nelson noticed symptoms in 2017 after friends and family pointed out her personality had changed. She was repeating the same questions and sentences — she thought she had just become forgetful.

Lack of sleep, frustration-stress, and some TIA, will do that.

Yell loudly and stumble aimlessly around the room.

You could be POTUS someday!

I think this would be an improvement over Biden.

I am amazed that the suffering person could notice this.

I was coming to the conclusion that dementia patients were oblivious.

You’re correct. At least this woman seems to be decent. Biden started out an inveterate, arrogant complete lying dirtbag politician well before his dementia, and that part of him is STILL there along with the other newer crazy.

Many on this thread have no idea of what dementia is like.
Spend a ten or twelve years with it and your tune will change.

I'm working hard in a factory filled with quasi-legal immigrants who can't or won't learn English when a problem arose and none of them could understand why I halted proceedings - so management got mad at me for making some of them feel stupid for not understanding my English language. In America.

The usurping regime of traitors can't find white guys going off the handle so invent them when the true miracle is that we DON'T go off to help their replacement agenda while undergoing such stress on a daily basis.

Not just white guys. Check out Ice-T's modernization of Suicidal Tendencies' "Institutionalized"> and me you didn't laugh.

My mom with dementia lived with us until finally we couldn’t care for her any more. It was exhausting.

I’ve cared for family members with various forms of dementia.

Whoever coined it “The Long Goodbye” named it well.

My mom had it and I spent 8+ years dealing with it. And, she was already in assisted living!

Many consider it just to be a sign of aging. I think there is such a thing as brain atrophy. If you don’t use it, you lose it.

My mom had Alzheimer’s and I had to put her in memory care. My wife and I just couldn’t care for her anymore. The decision to do so was one of the hardest ones I’ve ever made in my life.
