Hi! I’ve just heard that my grandma have dementia. Exactly it’s frontal lobe dementia. I didn’t know anything about this disease until now. I know that it can be very dangerous. My parents and I are worried now and we don’t know what to expect. Is progress of frontal lobe dementia fast?

Well, frontal lobe dementia is caused in a similar way to Alzheimer's disease in that it involves a progressive decline in a person's mental abilities over a number of years. As you probably know, frontal lobe dementia, like all types of dementia, shortens life expectancy. The rate of progression is variable.
