Abstract EN

Challenges encountered in the diagnosis and treatment of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are further confounded when presented with comorbid psychiatric disorder.

Here we report a case of progressive FTD in a patient with a long history of bipolar affective disorder (BAD) 1, depressed type.

We also report beneficial effects of electroconvulsive therapy and its potential application in similar comorbid disorders.
