Dr. Ismail said apathy was a common symptom, but he has seen starker changes. One patient in her 70s became so sexually uninhibited, she “went from prude to promiscuous,” he said. Another, a law-abiding 67-year-old woman, suddenly “started smoking crack.” Both later developed dementia.
伊斯梅尔博士则表示,漠然无感是常见的症状之一,不过他也见识过截然不同的转变。有位女性病人在七十多岁时变得性欲勃发,“从老古板变成豪放女”。另一位奉公守法的67岁女性则突然“开始抽强效可卡因”。这两位不久都患上了痴呆症。
Mood and behavior changes have long been recognized as early-warning signs of frontotemporal dementia, which accounts for about 10 percent of dementias.
长久以来,心情与行为变化都被视为额颞叶痴呆的早期警讯,它在全部痴呆症中约占10%。
Palmer Posvar, a patient of Dr. Ganguli’s, was in her 50s when she started taking food off other people’s plates, asking to borrow money from friends and trying to pawn heirloom jewelry, said her husband, Wesley. At 54, she was found to have frontotemporal dementia. Now 64, Mrs. Posvar can no longer speak and she falls so frequently that she was recently moved from their house in Fox Chapel, Pa., to a nursing home.
冈古力的病人帕尔玛‧波斯瓦(Palmer Posvar)的丈夫韦斯利(Wesley)说,帕尔玛在五十多岁的时候开始拿别人盘子里的东西来吃、向朋友借钱,还想把家传珠宝拿去典当。她在54岁时被诊断出患有额颞叶痴呆。现年64岁的波斯瓦太太已丧失语言能力,而且时常跌倒,所以近来从宾州福克斯查普尔的住处送去了养老院。
