7. Making Bad Decisions

People with Alzheimer’s disease usually experience changes in judgment or decision-making. This symptom frequently has a negative financial impact. For example, impaired judgment can increase their risk of getting scammed, including by donating money to obviously fake charities or responding to phishing emails.

Troubles with judgment can also make them stop performing important duties, such as taking care of themselves. For instance, they may overlook a flat tire on their car and keep driving like that or ignore a serious medical issue and avoid making a doctor’s appointment.

Now, if your loved one starts to show changes in judgment that don’t fit their personality, consider that dementia may be the cause.
