Chapter 8: Mood changes: From calm to tears to anger - within minutes 
As humans, we are all subject to moods. For the most part, we experience mood changes slowly over time in response to various stimuli. An unpleasant experience, for example, may change our 'state of mind' from elation to sadness or anger. Yet for an individual with Alzheimer's disease, these changes in feeling often occur rapidly or drastically without apparent cause... It's also important to remember that people with Alzheimer's disease can easily misinterpret events. What seems normal to most of us might appear totally different to Alzheimer's suffers. Our reality is not necessarily theirs.
