Article Synopsis
- Dementia affects not just the person who has it but also their spouse, changing their relationship in many ways.
- The study looked at how carers, mainly women, adjust to their new roles and the challenges they face, such as losing the special connection with their partner.
- To improve their relationship, the study suggests using methods like sharing memories together, learning better ways to communicate, and practicing self-compassion to help cope with these feelings.

Purpose Of Review: Alongside motor and cognitive symptoms, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and ALS with frontotemporal dementia (ALSFTD) present with behavioural symptoms, which can be challenging for all affected by the disease. A scoping review of studies published between 2011 and 2024 was conducted to present the breadth of behavioural symptoms in ALS and ALSFTD, explore how they are described and assessed, and identify patterns in the literature.
Findings: This scoping review identified 3939 articles, with 111/3939 meeting eligibility criteria.
