[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Previous poster with brother FTD. It could be the mom also has decline, but my SIL (in her 40s) was in MAJOR denial with the FTD. As did my brother in the beginning. There was a lot of talk about “fighting it” and “beating it” that was counterproductive. [/quote] What? Who on earth is that uninformed about dementia diagnoses?[/quote] FTD is a different disease and hits people quite early compared to other dementias. It also has a poorer prognosis. [b]No one[/b] wants to believe they or their spouse has a devastating behavior changing, language-robbing dementia in their 40s.[/quote] Really? I certainly would. I mean, if the symptoms are there, why ignore them? But then I'm a scientist. Sigh. [/quote] Please read this, some people with FTD aren’t in regular denial, it is actually part of the disease: https://www.theaftd.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/PinFTDcare_Newsletter_Winter_2019.pdf [/quote]
