The family states that he became aggressive, talked inappropriately to strangers, and showed insensitivity, contrary to his past consideration to others. He has had problems with speech production, using some phrases repeatedly, and showing a decreased vocabulary. He started to eat a great deaI, and has developed obsessional cravings for sweets. As a result, the patient has gained 40 pounds over the past year. His neighbors caught him stealing things from their back yard. The patient repeats the examiner's words and imitates the examiner's gestures. Testing reveals difficulties in naming common objects or pictures.
