My husband passed away last November from some form of this disease. We never received a complete diagnosis and certainly never had any guidance.
My husband started experiencing many of the characteristics mentioned in his early 50’s. Despite seeing 6 different neurologists and several neuro psychiatrists,
He was told he had severe depression most often. He was given medications and some seemed to help with behavior issues. In July of 2020, a neurologist gave him a pamphlet and said he may have a type of FTD.
He had accompanying gross and fine motor difficulty and experienced many falls and injuries. He was an environmental geologist and missed working. He died at age 66 at home with his dog at his
side. This was a very good explanation but care in the real world is lacking.

My husband is all this but he has severe short term memory loss. I've heard of people having more than one kind of dementia.

The sad thing is when you are fighting for them

Everyone else thinks you’re the problem OR isn’t ballsy enough to stand up

my relative turned into a horribly mean, spiteful and revenge minded psychopath, telling lies all the time, it was so hurtful and unjustified.
😥 oh and he would never go see a doctor...
because he "knew" there was nothing wrong with him.

Couldnt it be that I just don’t like people?
