Emotional symptoms of Multi-infarct dementia



Alterations in impulse and enthusiasm are felt symptoms. Mood swings, decreased interest and depressions are common emotional symptoms of Multi-infarct dementia. Patients drawn into their shell and are unattended and show little initiative. Cognitive disorders and mood swings generally occur with a stroke or brain hemorrhage in a temporal relation. The disease process is usually wavy.

Mental performance may show strong fluctuations gradually. Patients sometimes appear to be confused, then returns to the normal so symptoms are often taken for granted. There are also slow types of processes as well as in Binswanger's disease.

It is not possible to predict and make definition about the following process of the disease. At advanced stage of multi-infarct dementia, the process of the disease becomes more similar to other dementia diseases.
