WTF is dementia with Lewy Bodies? Is Alzheimer's the same as dementia? Learn a bit about the 5 most common types of dementia: Alzeheimer's dementia, vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy Bodies, Parkinson's disease dementia, and fronto-temporal lobar degeneration (aka fontal temporal dementia). Future podcasts will dive deeper into these dementias, but for now, consider this a meet-and-greet! After all, you have to know what you are dealing with in order to make any dementia YOUR bitch!!!

The original episode was released on July 15, 2021 but I re-recorded and updated it on September 8, 2021, after a lively family dinner where my adult kids gave me a "sort-of" compliment: "Mom, you finally started getting your shit together by Episode 4! Episode 1 was really rough." 

Love you guys!

Caring for a person with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is very different than caring for a person with Alzheimer's disease. Persons with FTD can go into a rage suddenly and with little warning. In this podcast, I provide techniques for dealing with that rage.
