The wife of a 62-year-old man with frontotemporal dementia comes to visit the GP

The wife of a 62-year-old man with frontotemporal dementia comes to visit the GP because she is concerned that her husband is rapidly gaining weight and has become more aggressive recently, especially when she challenges his eating habits. She has also noticed that he seems to be quite depressed and doesn’t want to go out with friends or see his grandchildren as much as he used to. The patient has previously given his consent for his records to be shared with his wife, and she is his nominated person for Lasting Power of Attorney for health and welfare.
