Coming to this late, but wanted to offer my condolences and a friendly ear if anyone reading this is dealing with FTD in a friend or relative.
My dad was diagnosed in his 60’s with FTD and declined for years until he passed away in January. It has been really difficult, and even more so for my mom, as she had to deal with him becoming aggressive in later stages of FTD.
It’s an ugly disease, not well-known, and hits people younger than typical Alzheimer’s symptoms would. I’m so sorry to those who have to go through FTD with relatives. It’s just extremely difficult from all angles. :(
If you are dealing with this, whether with the person in the article or someone else, my contact info is in my profile.
