Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) is one of the most common causes of early-onset dementia — and its earliest symptoms are often behavioral and emotional, not memory-related. A new narrative review by Joel Page, MD, Gregory M. Pontone, MD, and Dimitry S. Davydow, MD, MPH explores these early neuropsychiatric symptoms — such as apathy, impulsivity, loss of empathy, and repetitive behaviors — and provides guidance for clinicians on distinguishing bvFTD from psychiatric conditions. Understanding these signs earlier can improve care, support families sooner, and reduce misdiagnosis. Published in International Review of Psychiatry.
