Hello @ abigail-dantes, it's a good thing that you've returned, this topic reminds me of my grandmother, who was sick and forgot things, had difficulty to domir, and suddenly changed her mood, I guess she had some kind of dementia, I really do not know, I never took a specialist for that cause, what I do know is that the care that should be taken with these people is unique.
for example, the issue of frontotemporal dementia can be particularly difficult for caregivers because, unlike other forms of dementia, it can affect younger individuals who still work or have children living in their homes. This disease can affect the ability to make decisions very early, so it is important that people start making legal and financial decisions very soon after the disease is present. In addition to fixing power of indeterminate duration, caregivers should also consider a driver's evaluation for their loved ones, before driving becomes a problem.
Caregivers should encourage their loved ones to participate in support groups for individuals with frontotemporal dementia, either in person or online. These interactions can be an important way to deal with a disease that others often do not understand.
It is a bit comforting to know that if it is diagnosed early, the disease can be delayed a little as well as the prevention that we must have so as not to suffer it, for example in the case of food, we are very disordered, we do not comply with a balanced diet and in as many movements we lead very sedentary lives, we do not practice any sport because the life so accelerated that we have in these times does not allow it.
Thank you very much abigail, continue with your high quality post, I hope you soon.
