Pseudobulbar affect or emotional incontinence in FTD

[@dmullins301TWM]

When this woman speaks, her voice conveys a tremendous amount of compassion, empathy, and powerful intelligence. If I were afflicted with one of the many misunderstood mental disorders out there, then I would want her (or someone like her) to care for me.

[@jamesmcquinn9534]

Bless you on this one. I would ask if it was more difficult to cope with. I had never considered this, but on my mom's side of the family, we tend to laugh when we suddenly get hurt and it happens when we are crying because of the injury. Before studying pathology i found it difficult to cope with. At 39, I started to do this a few years ago. It's scary for me having GAD & PD & PTSD. It hasn't become a trigger yet. You made me smile so much in this video. You seem to bring her some normalcy. My mom suffers symptoms very similar to Wenicke's aphasia. Add her medical POA, I've never noticed her not being able to comprehend others, but sometimes she speaks and it sounds like gibberish. There are no made up words but random words and she doesn't realize she is doing it. It took a huge amount of effort to not respond to it in such a way that triggers hey anxiety. She seems wonderful! Have a good week if you ever read this.

[@peoplebuilding]

Thank you for the videos. My mum has FTD - we're 16 months post diagnosis. She lives alone still at the moment but things are moving fast and it's a real struggle to stay ahead of all the things that are going wobbly and to find info about what to expect next. Your videos are really helping me have a better idea about what's probably going to come up next so thank you so much for posting them.

[@LisaLisa001]

Best of luck with your mum. You're an amazing human. So few would make the sacrifices you're undoubtedly making. And wonderful of you to help others with this knowledge. You're a gem and so appreciated.

[@TheNiggler17]

Daniel Johnstone have you even seen Joker cause I thought it took his condition very seriously. Also didn’t you come to this video for your entertainment. Because if you already have this condition then you don’t need to be watching other people with this condition. And if you don’t have this condition then you must be like me and just wants to learn more about it. Just cause a comic book movie got me interested in this condition doesn’t mean I’m any less interested then you are.

[@Virikel]

I am going through a traumatic time in my life. In my life I've had only a couple times where I uncontrollably cried in an inappropriate time, but at least twice I've had times where I was bursting into tears, overwhelmed with emotions, and then suddenly it switched to uncontrollable laughter. Tonight, trying to process leaving a long, abusive relationship 4 months ago, and still worrying about my wife, I had uncontrollable crying, and suddenly it switched to uncontrollable laughter. But the difference is that, this time, it kept switching back and forth, probably at least a dozen times, in 20 minutes. Felt like my mind was splitting. I'm ok now. But that scared me. For about 10 minutes after, I'd occasionally get impulsive giggles, briefly. Not sure if it's the same as your mum. Don't know what she's been through. Some long-distance friends who are professional counselors suggested I may have PTSD. I don't even know, and after moving across America 5 months ago, I'm not in a good position to get the help I think I need. But it is somewhat encouraging seeing videos of folks with PBA and such. Over the last 6 years I developed something akin to Tourrettes, where I can't help but swear at myself horribly. It's very hard to control in public, and very tiring. And it's getting worse now that my life has changed. I work at a place with a lot of tough people, but they like me. But I worry what they will think if they catch me having an outburst. I just hope the laughing and crying doesn't become more regular after tonight.

[@Brain_and_Beyond]

So sorry to hear you are struggling. Based on the small narrative above my clinical experience suggests severe anxiety and trauma. I help people with this all the time. Where are you located? I would like to help but if you’re not close, it’s important you chat to someone who is experienced and competent in this presentation. Please know you are absolutely able to recover from this and no; it’s a different condition to what you have seen with my mum. If you’re in Australia let me know , I may be able to assist. Warm regards , Jo

[@manfriedm8697]

Daughter: It's not because she's actually sad at all. Do you agree with that? Mum: No Daughter: See, she's fine.

[@MadeByMIDGE]

This is kinda what I’m dealing with, but it sorta mimics the symptoms of PBA because I talked with my therapist about it and she said that my uncontrollable emotions, in this case laughing and crying, might be linked to PBA. For example, I would be, like, super tired and loopy to the point where I’m like (🥴). And then the laughter would start to build up, but I would be so out of it that I wouldn’t have the strength in my body to notice… then I would suddenly get all sad and start crying, and this would alternate a couple times til I calm down. Luckily I found a way to easily recognize and regulate my emotions: by personifying them with Classical Musicians. I have 30 in total and they all have a specific emotion with a personality, voice and everything. They range from 12th century Renaissance Era to 18th century Romantic Era. How I do it is that when a certain composer wants to come out as an emotion, I would just say, “______ would like to make an appearance.” And to switch moods or go back to my normal self, I just snap my fingers. But that’s only when my emotions/mood is either low or mild. When it’s high or extreme, I can’t really control them as much, they just switch on their own. Thank you for coming to my TED talk 😊 PS, I have autism so this situation might take a toll on my moods! 😅

[@kelleyjerred8032]

I had a stroke 2 months ago im so tired of crying. I actually just got some depression meds to see if it help so far so good.

[@grawakendream8980]

Wow, super interesting. So you happened to go into this as a line of work and your mom developed the condition, what are the odds.

[@Brain_and_Beyond]

Actually, it was the other way around. I was a forensic psychologist and then Mum got sick. I was living and breathing dementia and learning more and more about it - I was spending all my time immersed in the world of dementia, so I went back to Uni and did a Masters in Clinical - Psych, then got a job in Aged Care Psychiatry. If Mum didn't get this disease, I would probably still be working in the prison system. : )

[@grawakendream8980]

@@Brain_and_Beyond I worked in memory care for 4½ years-the tools I used to navigate this condition are still vaguely understood by the system, at best. Maybe that's how it will ultimately be; either one can be present to the compulsive immediacy of it, or they can't.

[@team3383]

I have this pathology following a traumatic episode in my life. (my heart stopped ticking for no reason at all and after 63 minutes I live to tell the tale ! - I'm an organ donor and the surgeons had me on the table to save others. I'd been declared dead and it takes 2 independant declarations here to be officially dead and handed over to organ donors - the second doctor had ONE last go and my heart started (very badly, but it started again...!). As a result I suffer from FTD - or emotional liability. I can cry or laugh at anything without control and there is no knowing when. I'm not actually sad or happy (i've worked out that I'm both at the same time usually if thats possible) and all my body can do is cry or laugh..... You can cry of joy and pain so I get that and the same goes for laughter. How many people laugh after a car crash just at the sheer joy of realising they are still alive. Its the same effect. The most "worrying" is the reactions of the people surrounding me who have no understanding and look squint at you ! I don't care anymore. Just getting on with life as best I can :-) Cheers. It really shouldn't bother anyone affected by it as we can't do anything to stop it.
