[quote=Anonymous]One of the early signs for a relative of mine was that she seemed to lose empathy. She would often say no one loved her and cared about her and she had really bad anger/anxiety. The loss of empathy meant she couldn't relate to other people. She also seemed to communicate in scripts and be very self absorbed. During this early stage she also lost a lot of weight and became obsessive about dieting along with a bunch of other OCD type stuff like obsessively washing her hands and mild hoarding. The pendulum has since swung now that she is in the moderate stage. She love bombs us, is happy all the time, and has put on a ton of weight. She's now overweight, but that's fine by me because they tend to lose weight again in the advanced stage. It has taken a lot of medications to get her here and a really proactive memory care place.
