A member asked:

Does alzheimer's cause the victim to have hostility?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Often: Because of impaired self-monitoring (lack of appreciating the impact of one's actions), disinhibition (lack of ability to repress socially unacceptable behavior) and impaired perception (delusions, fearfulness, paranoia) often cause hostility. Misinterpretation of other's motivations and behaviors may provoke aggressiveness.
