To examine possible reasons for conflicting prevalence data on psychiatric features of Alzheimer's disease (AD), we compared the results of a mental status examination by a physician with a questionnaire completed by caregivers in eliciting 12 different psychiatric symptoms in AD patients. There was agreement only on categories suggesting agitation. The formal examination showed more correlations with stage and severity of dementia than did the caregiver report.
