Wait… it’s not Alzheimer’s? In this episode of This Is Your Brain on Mom, Wendy and Barry unpack a major shift in their mom’s diagnosis—from Alzheimer’s to mixed dementia, including frontal temporal dementia (FTD) and vascular dementia. And honestly? It explains a lot. From extreme personality changes to aggression, language issues, and unpredictable behavior, this episode dives into what FTD actually looks like in real life—not just what Google tells you. Because dementia isn’t one-size-fits-all. There’s humor (because there has to be), but also the raw truth of what it’s like to watch your parent change in ways no one prepares you for. If you’ve ever felt like the diagnosis doesn’t quite fit… or like you’re learning as you go in real time—this episode is for you. 🎧 Tune in and learn what mixed dementia really means—and why getting the right diagnosis matters.
