They might be subjective. You as a patient say, \u201cListen, I think I&#8217;m struggling with memory,\u201d or the family member points out that they are struggling in memory, or they feel their speech has deteriorated, or they feel they&#8217;re having the shuffling gait, or other signs which hint at that. Or, for example, a big chunk of CTE symptoms are also neuro-psychiatric, like changes in mood and behaviour, anger issues, disinhibition. Now, these are things which somebody has to volunteer. Either you volunteer that, or a family member volunteers it. Somebody has to actually tell them, so that a concern is raised, and then a neurologist assesses these patients in a more conclusive way and tries to shed a better light on what he or she feels might be going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But clearly, which is the big point here, somebody has to voice those symptoms.
