Frontotemporal Dementia
When marked changes in personality, behavior or language appear in a person, it's worth considering frontotemporal dementia, a disorder that predominantly affects the frontal and temporal regions of the brain.
Characteristic manifestations: Unlike other dementias, forgetfulness does not always dominate at the start; disinhibition, apathy, difficulties speaking or understanding, and behaviors unusual for the person tend to stand out.
When to seek care? It's advisable to seek care when these changes are persistent and interfere with daily life or relationships.
Which specialist handles it? The geriatrician evaluates mental and behavioral functioning and guides the approach together with the family. Discussing the observed changes with this professional allows for a more precise evaluation of what is happening.
