✦ Synopsis

The diagnosis of frontal lobe dementia (FLD) involves the assessment of affect. Three affective states predominate in FLD: apathy, elation and emotionalism. Nineteen FLD patients were investigated for a relationship between affective changes and premorbid personality traits. The negative results support the hypothesis that mood changes in FLD have a neurological basis and are important in early diagnosis.
