title: The diagnostic challenge of frontotemporal dementia in psychiatric patients: a case report.
abstract: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is often misdiagnosed early in the clinical course and may be confused with primary psychiatric disorders. This is especially true when patients have a psychiatric history. In this report, we describe a case that illustrates the diagnostic challenge of FTD in a patient with a history of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
