Abstract

Mood disorders occupy a vast area in the field of psychiatry. Advances in the study of the brain, but also epidemiology and genetics allow us to make more solid connections between these disorders and neurological disorders, resuming a process of reconciliation between both specialties. The purpose of this short review is to draw the attention of the psychiatrist to these links, especially with a brief presentation of the psychiatric manifestations of a number of neurodegenerative diseases and more particularly frontotemporal dementia.

Keywords: Affective disorders; Comorbidités neurologiques; Démences fronto-temporales; Frontotemporal dementia; Maladies neurodégénératives; Neurodegenerative diseases; Neurological comorbidities; Troubles affectifs.
