[quote=Anonymous]I am the daughter who saw dementia in dad long before mom could face reality and siblings-both doctors insisted it wasn't so. I was the crazy one and I'm sure they too had a million reasons I was wrong. It took a very concerning issue 9 months later to force the evaluation. The deterioration was major and clearly something that had been happening over years, though they all claim he is the only person to have such a rapid onset and decline. Yes, there is something you can do. Encourage an evaluation. Often in the very early stages they pass the evaluation (that's what happened with inlaws), but if he doesn't pass, you will know for sure your mother is correct. Don't assume if he fails there aren't subtle signs. Also, FTD often results in passing the screen, but it shows up on scans (though often it starts earlier).[/quote]
