- Her study emphasizes the need for clinical suspicion and laboratory confirmation in diagnosing rapidly progressive dementia (RPD) caused by lithium overdosage, differentiating it from Alzheimer's disease features on FDG PET scans.
- The findings point towards the importance of recognizing reversible dementias such as those caused by lithium toxicity, suggesting that timely drug interruption can lead to cognitive recovery.
