Neuropsychiatric symptoms are a prominent feature of this disorder and can include apathy, behavioral disinhibition, loss of empathy, compulsive behaviors, and others. Overall frequency of formal current or past psychiatric disorder diagnosis is not thought to be increased in patients with FTD although this is somewhat controversial. Regarding depression, a meta-analysis in 2015 exploring the prevalence of depressive symptoms in FTD found that depressed mood is likely elevated in patients compared to healthy age matched controls and as prevalent in FTD as in other dementias including Alzheimer disease, vascular dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies. Also, it is known that patients with dementia have a 3 to 10-fold increased risk of death by suicide. However, there have been few studies examining the prevalence of suicidality in FTD patients specifically. Addressing this knowledge gap, a recent paper reported that patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) have significantly elevated suicidal ideation and suicide attempts when compared to healthy age and education matched controls. An earlier 2014 retrospective study of suicidal behavior in FTD patients similarly reported that suicidal behaviors were increased in FTD patients when compared to age and gender matched controls. However, both of these studies focused on patients with significant dementia and did not explore whether genetics might play a role in suicidality of FTD patients. We wondered whether a similar increase in suicidality would be present in early/prodromal FTD patients with MAPT mutations that result in behavioral variant (bv)FTD with a high prevalence. We performed structured clinical psychiatric interviews on 12 prodromal MAPT mutation carriers, CDR 1⁄4 0 to 0.5, and 46 control nonmutation carriers from the same families. We found that 8% of MAPT mutation carriers (1/12) had suicidal ideation in their lifetime, whereas 15% of control nonmutation carriers (7/46) from the same families had a lifetime history of suicidal ideation; 8% of MAPT mutation carriers (1/12) and 7% of control nonmutation carriers (3/46) reported current suicidal ideation. We were also interested in examining suicidality in patients who met full criteria for FTD in an independent and North American sample and so we examined suicidality measures on the Personality Assessment Inventory in 21 patients with sporadic FTD (n 1⁄4 18 bvFTD and n 1⁄4 3 primary progressive aphasia) enrolled in an ongoing study at National Institutes of Health / National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NIH/NINDS).
