How old are they? Could be early-onset alzheimers.


Just had a call a few days ago from a friend I hear from only a few times a year. After the call, I thought about dementia or Alzheimers. 'Mike' was so angry/edgy, and then described some (to me) disturbing behaviors he is engaged in lately.

I need to see him in person, over the phone is inadequate for me to know for sure what's going on, but the 'Mike' I spoke with the other day is definitely not my good friend from 12 Steppers of the last 10 years anymore.

He's 60. It really saddens me if that is what is going on. I last spoke to him during the holidays, 2013/2014, and in retrospect, I'm thinking I should have picked up on something then.

Hope Minimalist relative is OK, but I'd be concerned.

There has also been discussion on the news of late of people having long term negative consequences of concussion(s). Might be another issue to look into.
