My Mom (67) has Fronto temporal dementia. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Or can anyone tell me more about it? I've gotten basically no information from Doctors accept that is very aggressive and is worse that Alzhiemer's.

Get the book What If Its Not Alzheimer's? by Lisa Radin ( it's all about FTD). Check out the Association for FrontoTemporal Dementia AFTD. Look up the UCSF University of CA, San Francisco website for info FTD. Just Google it. If that isn't enough of a start contact the Alzheimer's Association because they are also a resource for other dementias besides Alzheimer's. There are different variants of FTD, semantic, behavioral. Good Luck.
