Clinical Approach to Personality Change Due to Another Medical Condition

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to highlight the significance of medical personality change (MPC) as a diagnosis that is often overlooked in clinical practice, despite its potential to severely impact a patient's life. They categorize MPC into subtypes based on behavioral correlates of specific brain circuits and discuss common causes, such as traumatic brain injury and Huntington disease, while advocating for increased clinical attention and research to improve assessment and treatment strategies.
