(American Geriatrics Society) Personality changes and behavior problems that come with Alzheimer's disease are as troubling as memory loss and other mental difficulties for caregivers and those living with the condition.

The researchers created a study to test their theory and published their findings in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
