Lancet 350:908-910, Zeidler,M.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Psychiatric symptoms are a consistent early clinical feature in nvCJD. Analysis of the psychiatric symptoms does not suggest specific features that readily allow distinction from more common psychiatric disorders, although the occurrence of associated persistent sensory symptoms may raise the possibility of this diagnosis.Neurological signs,including ataxia,involuntary movements and cognitive impairment developed in all cases and the evolution of increasing neurological deficits is likely to remain critical to the clinical diagnosis of nvCJD.
