Visual variant Alzheimer’s disease

Hi

My husband was recently diagnosed with visual Varian Alzheimer’s disease. He has some issues, but he also has depression and so it’s hard for me to differentiate between what is treatable and what is not treatable I was just wondering if there are other people who have this type of Alzheimer’s, who could give me some ideas about what they’re experiencing, so maybe I can differentiate between symptoms of depression and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease

With tears in my eyes, I am hoping to latch on to this. My husband sounds like a victim. When I took him to the neurologist 5 yrs. ago all he said was that he had Alzheimer's and he put him on the two regular (I assume) drugs and dismissed us to family practice. But his symptoms haven't followed the ones I've read about with his biggest problem being his conception visually. We've taken several approaches but until today I'd not heard of PCA. I feel so liberated! I feel that I can put a finger on his disease! I wonder if there are doctors in the area that know about this disease and if it would change anything if we found one.
