Abstract
A patient who presented with soreness of her eyes was given a diagnosis of dementia of the frontal type (DFT) complicated by a major depressive illness. The report illustrates the multiplicity of presenting symptoms in patients with dementia. Resistance to treatment is often an indication that a depressive disorder is symptomatic of underlying organic brain disease.
