I've heard there is a variety of emotional responses by the patient.
Some are frustrated by former simple things becoming too hard to do.
Some are angry at themselves for failing. Or angry at others who think others are playing tricks on them.
Some of the excess emotion may come from the degeneration progressing at different rates in different parts of the brain. Especially if the frontal lobes lose their inhibitory powers.
Some report a sense of peace. Life is simpler and more basic.
