In this episode of Your Brain on Mom, Wendy and Barry explore the lesser-known symptoms of dementia that often catch families completely off guard. From sensory and visual changes to altered behavior, loss of social filters, and changes in spatial awareness, they discuss how neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia affect far more than memory.

Using their own experiences caring for their mom, they share why so many early warning signs are dismissed as "normal aging," how stress and brain function can sometimes mimic memory problems, and why understanding these symptoms can help caregivers respond with more compassion and less confusion.

You'll also hear the siblings do what they do best—mix meaningful education with humor, including a debate over how to pronounce "frontotemporal" and the usual off-topic family banter that reminds caregivers they're not alone.

Whether you're caring for a parent with dementia, supporting someone with Alzheimer's, or trying to recognize the early signs of cognitive decline, this episode offers practical insight, relatable stories, and reassurance that dementia is about much more than forgetting names.
