It is very closely related to two other conditions, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Degeneration. Despite their importance there is a lack of up to date information about how many people in the UK are affected by these conditions. People with these conditions are often reported as apathetic but at the same time make impulsive and rash decisions. Both apathy and impulsivity are a significant source of carer distress and patient morbidity. I am working to produce up to date information on how common these conditions are. At the same time using a combination of different techniques I am examining the principle components of apathy and impulsivity with the eventual aim of supporting future trials of symptomatic treatments.
