Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Are Short Temper, Bruxism And Turning Red Faced Indicative Of Early Dementia?
I have a loved one, age 65 who has had a big change in personality , but only on occasion. He s quick to anger, throws things, grits his teeh and turns red faced. We are concerned because he s always been so gentle and a pacifist. We are worried about early dementia.
HI Thank for choosing HCM I can under stand your concern, and I would say that it is not the dementia but it seems to be behavior changes and it is the psychological disorders, it may be age related. With proper care and medication it can be cured, and for that it is advisable to see the psychiatrist, but of course it is not the dementia. Hope this information helps.
