About the symptom
It describes the tendency and constant behaviour to put things into the mouth.
Possible causes
- Frontotemporal dementia
A group of disorders involving the progressive loss of nerve cells in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain (behind your forehead and ears). There is shrinking of the brain as well as loss of brain function in the affected areas. It can be caused by several conditions which are not completely understood. A family history of dementia increases the risk.
