Chronic traumatic encephalopathy patients show a range of signs and symptoms such as loss of memory and behavioral control, impaired motor and balance skills, depression, impaired judgments, and aggression. A CTE patient is also mostly like to suffer from cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's and dementia. The early signs and symptoms appear in a patient's late twenties and thirties. The symptoms depicted at this stage cause tremendous change in the patient's behavioral control problems, paranoia, depression, and aggressiveness.

Seek medical assistance as soon as possible if you have any of the warning signs. Progression of the disease makes the patient experience memory and thinking problems such as confusion and progressive dementia. These cognitive symptoms appear later than the behavioral and mood symptoms. Research shows the cognitive symptoms show their first appearance during the patient's forties and fifties.
