Depressive vulnerability in women with Alzheimer's disease: Relationship with personality traits and abnormal personality dimensions

Personality changes in AD have been documented in the literature and may constitute a useful early clinical marker of Dementia (e.g., Cipriani, Borin, Del Debbio,& Di Fiorino, 2015; Duberstein et al., 2010; Duchek et al., 2007; Henriques-Calado, Duarte-Silva,& Sousa Ferreira, 2016; Pocnet, Rossier, Antonietti,& von Gunten, 2011, 2013; Wahlin& Byrne, 2011). Within this field, the most robust and validated personality evaluation measure is based on the Five-Factor Model of Personality. The overall common objective is to understand personality changes in Dementia by comparing the pre-morbid and current measurement, in retrospective and current evaluation, normally by means of Informants.
