Daily Mail: Mood swings and menopause may be a sign of dementia
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Changes in personality during menopause or midlife crises can be a sign of early warning of dementia, a recent study suggests.

According to the Daily Mail, the researchers said the signs of mood swings include depression, anxiety, apathy, impulsiveness, excitement, and socially inappropriate things.

If any of these signs appear to persist for six months or more, they may predict the onset of dementia, scientists said. Menopause affects women at 50 years of age and can cause mood swings, depression and anxiety, so many doctors may fail. Diagnose patients who already have early dementia.

Scientists at the Canadian University of Calgary at the International Conference of Alzheimer's Society in Toronto said on Wednesday that they had tracked 282 people with low cognitive impairment during this early stage of dementia.

The researchers found that 82% of the patients, who were 60 years of age, had behavioral change, mood swings affected 78%, anxiety 65%, apathy 52%, and psychosis 9%.

Jonathan Rorer, a specialist in dementia treatment at the University of London, warned earlier this year that behavioral change was the red flag of temporal dementia, which affects some 16,000 people in Britain.Daily Mail: Mood swings and menopause may be a sign of dementia
