Neuropsychiatric Features in Patients With Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Apathy and depression are highly prevalent in iNPH, maybe more so than in other neurodegenerative conditions. Little is known about other neuropsychiatric features in iNPH. Treatment of iNPH may reduce neuropsychiatric symptoms, particularly depression. However, our study was limited by heterogeneity in populations and assessment tools and a lack of baseline data on neuropsychiatric symptoms before iNPH diagnosis. These findings highlight the urgent need for further research into neuropsychiatric features in iNPH, their mechanisms, and their potential response to treatment.
