In our daily lives, Parkinson's disease may be a disease that we are not very familiar with, but it must not be ignored. Parkinson's disease is a common neurological disorder that primarily affects a patient's ability to exercise, but also affects non-motor functions such as cognition, emotion, and behavior. As the condition worsens, patients may experience some abnormal behavior. Today, we're going to take a look at how to recognize the signs of an exacerbation in people with Parkinson's disease.
Subtle changes in cognition and mood
People with Parkinson's disease may experience some cognitive and emotional changes. For example, they may exhibit symptoms such as memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and decreased judgment. Emotionally, patients may become irritable, anxious, or depressed. These changes may be due to the loss of neurons in the brain.
Significant abnormalities in daily behavior
As the condition worsens, people with Parkinson's disease may experience some abnormalities in their daily behavior. For example, they may fall frequently because of their decreased muscle coordination. They may have difficulty completing daily tasks such as dressing, eating, etc. In addition, they may also exhibit language barriers, such as slurred speech or difficulty finding the right words to express themselves.
Changes in social behavior
Parkinson's disease not only affects the physiological functioning of patients but also their social behavior. As the condition worsens, people may become withdrawn, socially inadequate, and even have personality changes. They may lose interest in activities they used to enjoy, and their relationships with family and friends may be alienated as a result.
Significant changes in sleep and appetite
Changes in sleep and appetite are also important signs of worsening Parkinson's disease. Patients may experience sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, etc. At the same time, they may also lose their appetite or overeat. These changes may all be related to the loss of neurons in the brain.
