@A myALZteam Member,
My husband still has this problem and not only mirrors, he sees his reflections on the glass windows at night too
As long as she thinks it is her friend , it is ok and leave it alone but my husband thinks that is a bad guy and gets very mad.. so I covered all of them .

It's because as they progress, they go back in time. She remembers a younger version of herself, and what she sees in the mirror is the current version. Some suggest covering the mirror or mirrors to relieve the anxiety and stress.
