can dementia cause personality changes
Personality Changes May Help Detect Form Of Dementia. FULL STORY. A simple personality test could help doctors detect dementia with Lewy bodies, a form of dementia often confused with Alzheimer's disease, sooner, according to a study published in the May 29, 2007, issue of NeurologyÂ®, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
While Alzheimerâs usually affects older people, and is detected as a person begins to lose memory, frontotemporal dementia causes people to lose their personalities first, and usually hits in the prime of their lives â the 30s, 40s, and 50s.
