MeasureTime frame
Cognitive Functions were evaluated by Mini-Mental State Examination and the Neuropsychiatric Disturbances were measured by Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) to verify specific domains as: hallucinations, delusions, agitation, depressive symptoms, anxiety, euphoria, apathy/indifference, disinhibition, irritability/lability, aberrant motor behavior, nighttime disturbances and appetite/eating changes;Instrumental Day-living activities were evaluated by the Pfeffer Instrumental Activities Questionnaire—
