Personality study for people with memory or behavior changes
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how personality may have changed before the onset of different types of memory or behavior disorders (like frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's, or bipolar disorder). Researchers will talk with a family member or close friend who knew you well before the illness started.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a specific type of behavioral or memory disorder (such as frontotemporal dementia, a frontal type of Alzheimer's, or bipolar disorder).
- You can score at least 18 on a simple memory test (Mini-Mental State Exam).
- You have a caregiver (like a family member or close friend) who has known you for at least 10 years before your symptoms began and is willing to take part.
- Both you and your caregiver agree to join the study.

This study uses brain scans and genetic tests to understand the differences between behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and bipolar disorder. It may help improve diagnosis and find better treatments for both conditions.
This study looks at neurofilament light (a brain/nerve injury marker) and how it relates to thinking and memory problems in people with certain psychiatric conditions. It may help researchers understand brain changes and cognitive impairment, which could guide better diagnosis in the future.
This study looks at whether skin samples can help detect brain changes in people with frontotemporal lobe degeneration (a type of dementia) and related conditions. It compares skin from patients and healthy volunteers to find clues that might help with diagnosis.
This study looks at testing (including brain scans) to figure out what type of frontotemporal dementia or related language/speech condition a person has. It may help by making diagnoses more accurate, which can guide better care.
This trial checks a new kind of paper-and-pen (or computer-based) test to better measure thinking and social/behavior skills in people with certain brain diseases. It may help researchers improve how these skills are tracked and understood over time.
This study looks at memory and thinking changes using questionnaires, memory testing, and brain scans. It may help researchers better understand neurodegeneration and dementia and how these problems show up over time.
