There are no specific symptoms that have been clearly linked to CTE. Some of the possible signs and symptoms of CTE can occur in many other conditions. In the few people with proved CTE, signs and symptoms have included cognitive, behavioral, mood and motor changes. CTE CTE CTE Cognitive impairment  Difficulty thinking (cognitive impairment) Memory loss Problems with planning, organization and carrying out tasks (executive function)  Behavioral changes  Impulsive behavior Aggression  Mood disorders  Depression or apathy Emotional instability Substance misuse Suicidal thoughts or behavior  Motor symptoms  Parkinsonism Motor neuron disease  CTE symptoms don't develop right after a head injury, but experts believe that they might develop over years or decades after repeated head trauma. Experts currently believe that CTE symptoms appear in two forms. In early life between the late 20s and early 30s, the first form of CTE may cause mental health and behavioral issues including depression, anxiety, impulsivity and aggression. The second form of CTE is thought to cause symptoms later in life, around age 60. These signs and symptoms include memory and thinking problems that are likely to progress to dementia.

Little is known right now about how CTE progresses.
