This essay discusses a form of dementia identified as frontal temporal dementia. It will address the biology of the brain and the pathology associated with the disease. Additionally, the essay will analyze some of the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. Additionally, the essay will include a reflection on an actual interaction with a cared for person with frontal temporal dementia. Frontal temporal dementia [FTD] is a form of dementia that can have very visible behavioral symptoms and therefore create the world for the person and their caregivers are really very affected by the changes that this form of dementia can cause. To explore the reason for behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia [BPSD], it is prudent to understand the biology and pathology involved. According to (The Regents of the University of California, 2012, pp. 1-2), FTD is identified by damage and loss of neurons resulting in atrophy affecting the frontal and temporal lobes and surrounding cortex. As explained by (Hendelman, 2006, pp. 41-63), the brain is made up of many interconnected sections of white and gray matter of the cerebral cortex, which is composed of billions of neurons and their axons. The cerebral cortex is divided into hemispheres which control different functions at the level of the brain and then by connection of the body. The hemispheres are the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, and in FTD it is the frontal and temporal lobes that are primarily affected. One of the symptoms of FTD is related to the ability to control speech. The area of ​​the brain that controls speech is located in the frontal lobe, which is not only a major sensory preceptor that relays information from the frontal eye field to middle of paper......see his car, again I listen, sympathize and redirect to his daughter or another conversation about a past event he likes to discuss, such as his experience participating in the Sydney-Hobart yacht race. Using her daughter and her life stories as a safety reorientation was a process of trial and error, finding a strategy that would safely allow her to escape her compulsion and feel secure in his view of the world. In conclusion, frontal temporal dementia is the result of a pathology including certain genes and proteins, which cause damage to the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which can impact a person's ability to function well. Additionally, it is because of this damage that a person may experience behavioral and psychological symptoms that impact their quality of life as well as the people who care for and love them...
