It happened without warning, early one day last summer as they prepared to go out. Gloria Rapport's husband raised his arm to her, fist poised.

The man she had always known to be kind and gentle could in an instant turn "cunning, nasty, aggressive, menacing," she said.
“The behavioral changes I've seen are absolutely frightening," she said. "I understand now why so many families institutionalize someone, because I was afraid of him."
