- Changes in behavior affecting mood and causing apathy or irritability can occur. As with other forms of dementia, symptoms of depression or delusional behavior can also be evident in vascular dementia (see Resources).
- Difficulty with motor functions may occur and result in problems with walking. Because diminishing motor functions interfere with balance, there is a danger of injury from falls (see Resources).
