[quote=Anonymous]She add that my mom was misdiagnosed. She has bipolar disorder with psychosis. She is now on medication that has been life changing. Elderly with violating will still need help and can benefit from assisted living but have way more hope. We had no idea as a lot of doctors throw out the FTD diagnosis when they are stumped. Now I realize there are differences. People with FTD get very heavy because of manic eating including attempting to eat non food things. They also spiral quickly some in a matter of two years pass. Later stages have more in common with Alzheimer's with memory issues. They also have a very flat affect and can come across as insensitive with feelings. If I am to lslistrn to your description of your mom this does not sound like FTD. Finally how old is your mom as this hits early. [/quote]
