Hello....the unique thing about frontal lobe dementia is that its considered rare. It usually affects much younger people - in their fifties - and has very different behavious including a dramatic change in personality. This can go on for a long time before one realises that there are other things happening. As we don't expect a diagnosis in our fifties we think its a mid life crisis or depression etc. It doesnt affect memory much. It does however affect speech - actual verbal words become difficult to say. Swallowing is another issue. Boundaries dissapear and inappropriate behaviours appear like touching others sexually - not harmfully - but just reaching out and touching. The abiltiy to comprehend and undertand what is going on is fine but articulating is gone or going. Understanding things is ok but the outcomes of choices and consequences vanish. Let me know your thoughts............

My husband was diagnoised with Frontolobal temporal Dementia in November 2018

His behavior is different than other types of Alzheimer’s . There is a web-site for Frontal Temporal Dementia. I haven’t been on it for a while. I will find it and let you know the address.

All dementias are similar. None are nice. I think we all support each other....

All of what you are saying is true. I don’t know why but he has no problems with words. He was a quite person who now you can stop from talking. When he retired at 55 he was not answering the questions the doctor (anyone) was asking him. He would start talking and it didn’t have anything to do with the questions. It becomes very frustrating when he is talking over me at doctor. I’ve learned to just stay away from him if we are the same room and never talk to the person he is talking to.
