Abstract
The authors describe psychiatric abnormalities, including personality and affective changes and psychotic symptoms, associated with very mild senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. The behavioral and affective changes in the subjects with very mild dementia resembled those occurring in subjects with mild dementia, but psychotic symptoms rarely occurred until the dementia had progressed to at least a mild stage.This publication has 34 references indexed in Scilit:
