[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom with  Frontotemporal Dementia was able to do okay on the dementia tests. She was scored at Age Related Cognitive Decline. Despite the fact that she was terrorizing my Dad mentally and physically.

Record her behavior and see another doctor. [/quote]

I have wondered about this. The problem is she would never consent to a scan which I assume is what would be needed and she would not consent anymore to me bringing her to an appointment to share concern. Also, to be honest I don't think i could handle the rage fit that would ensue. My brother has had it as well and from what we are told there is not much you can do for someone deemed cognitively capable. She did agree to a geriatric social worker who she hand picked and the young woman seems to be under her spell. I guess mom can still turn on the charm.

For as nutty as she is to other people her capacity for cruelty toward me and to some extent my brother if off the charts. It's a sad situation and it's like she is becoming the worst version of herself and losing any good qualities she had.[/quote]
