  • Decline in physical health
  • Sudden weight change
  • Inability to focus and follow conversation
  • Tremors of hands
  • Slurred speech
  • Car accidents or falls
  • Constant runny nose
  • Personality and behavioral changes
  • Excessive drug prescriptions for self and family
  • Frequent emotional crises
  • Arguments/violent outbursts
  • Extramarital affairs
  • Withdrawal from family and close friends
