Early Signs of BvFTD

The early signs of bvFTD can be subtle and may be mistaken for other conditions, such as depression or anxiety. However, it is important to be aware of the early signs of bvFTD so that you can seek diagnosis and treatment as early as possible.

Some of the early signs of bvFTD can include:


Changes In Personality: People with bvFTD may become more impulsive, socially inappropriate, or apathetic. They may also neglect their personal hygiene or have changes in food preferences.

Emotional Symptoms: People with bvFTD may experience apathy, depression, or mood swings. They may also have difficulty expressing or understanding emotions.

Cognitive Impairments: People with bvFTD may have difficulty planning and organizing tasks, focusing on tasks, or making decisions. They may also have difficulty with executive function, which is the ability to plan, organize, and execute tasks.

Language Difficulties: People with bvFTD may have difficulty understanding or producing speech. They may also have difficulty with word finding or grammar.

The only one of these that Trump showed yesterday is "more impulsive", and he has always been highly impulsive, judging by his spur of the moment decisions. He did not show language difficulties, cognitive impairments or difficulty expressing or understanding emotions. He only showed intolerance for being contradicted.
