Hello! My grandma has that kind of dementia and we have a lot of problems with her. She became very selfish and unfeeling. I can’t recognize her. The most common signs of frontotemporal dementia involve extreme changes in behavior and personality. These usually are lack of judgment and inhibition, euphoria, inappropriate actions and sometimes decline in personal hygiene.
