Abstract
- The article presents a case study on the association between premorbid personality traits and behavioral disturbances in dementia patients. It describes the patients' clinical characteristics such as age, disease duration, and mental state. It shows some indications that support how premorbid personality might influence critical behavior disturbances including emotional stability, impulse control and energy/extroversion and increased neuropsychiatric inventory.
