This very very rate disease is like Alzheimer's disease. Loss of memory, personality changes. As the disease progresses the person loses control control of their minds and body.
Anything that effects the brain and personality will affect behaviors. As a person loses memory they become frustrated with the very simple things and may have temper outbursts. If they are aware of the changes, depression could be an issue. Brain changes can bring about seizure activity, some of which can be manifested as anger outbursts.
Go to www.webmd.com and ask for information on the disease.

The disease is the same as mad cow disease but it affects humans and it has a number of disturbing affects including inablility to balance, a complete breakdown of communication skills. I do not believe it is fatal though

Dementia-like behavior-including forgetfulness, irritability, and personality changes. It eventually ends up with a person forgetting the simplest tasks, like how to eat or use the bathroom, eventually reverting to almost an infant-like state. Unfortunately it is rapidly progressive and fatal.

It's deteriorative. A lot like Mad Cow disease. It interferes with the brain & nervous system, hence muscular control is hindered.
