Summary
This prospective, naturalistic, open label study will test the hypothesis that Depakote is
correlated with a reduction in elevated Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Index (CMAI) verbal and
physical agitation and aggression scales over a 6-week period among patients with elevated
scores on those scales, and that these positive results can be achieved with fewer side
effects than with other agents. In addition, patients will be rated with respect to changes
in the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) at baseline, week 1, 3, and 6 and the
Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) at baseline and week 6.
