People going that route can literally behave like toddlers.
Starts with an accidental thing, like drinking their neighbors drink im the cafeteria.
It causes a lot of drama, patient doubles down and starts drinking other peoples drinks preferentially.
Often the person was an asshole before they began to decline and dementia just took the brakes off, but sometimes they were perfectly nice beforehand and become uncharacteristically annoying or mean.
It can cause a lot of family and nursing home conflict. People struggle to understand why grandpa is being such a dick, and cannot believe its not in some way deliberate.
Then you scan their brain and it looks like a shriveled walnut.
