Why a form of dementia that changes people’s personalities is “very commonly misdiagnosed”

It attacks the part of the brain that controls speech and personality. It is frequently misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s or depression. Dr. Edward Huey, associate professor of psychiatry and neurology at Columbia University, joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss the disease. Source
