Changes in Judgement

People in the early stages of AD start to show an inability to make proper decisions. They don’t take into consideration all the necessary factors to make a decision as a result, their choices seem irresponsible or inappropriate. They have the inability to recognize danger, for example, they try to walk across a street at a rush hour and with a lot of traffic. These changes in judgment can also include money, people who where cautious with their money start giving it away to strangers, even if it is money that they don’t have or that they own.

The poor judgment includes inappropriate behaviors like a man who flirts with a stranger when going out with his wife.

The bad decisions also reflect in their dressing. for example, it could be a snowy cold day of winter but they are wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

Another warning sign is when they stop paying attention to personal appearance, this includes grooming or personal hygiene.
