"For example, a couple weeks ago I stormed over to a neighbor's where a painting company was setting up ladders for a job. I complained to them about the noise, since it was early enough in the day that the county noise ordinance was in effect. In retrospect, they weren't that loud. I felt embarrassed afterward for giving them grief."
"Set up an appointment with your primary care physician and relay your concerns. Ask for a referral to a neurologist but also talk with your doctor about other potential causes for the mood changes. Perhaps you're having issues with your blood sugar, perhaps you're experiencing anxiety or depression. I don't know, and it would be irresponsible of me to ever try to diagnose, but a medical professional can listen to you, run tests and start looking for answers."
Recurring unprovoked irritability toward neighbors and service workers causes embarrassment and alarm. Incidents include confronting a painting crew about noise and unfairly berating takeout workers. A family history of Alzheimer's with similar early behavioral changes raises additional concern. Recommended actions include scheduling a primary-care appointment, requesting a neurologist referral, and investigating other medical contributors such as blood-sugar irregularities. Mental-health causes like anxiety or depression should also be assessed. Friends can help monitor behavior changes. Medical professionals can run tests, listen to concerns, and begin a diagnostic evaluation.
