My wife has been diagnosed with Frontotemporal Syndrome, depression and anxiety.
I cannot find the meaning of it. I hope someone can shed some light into this.

This is one of the more aggressive Dementias because it effects where our emotions are. All three can be medicated.

I’m very sorry that you are struggling with this. It’s really hard to see people that we love change. They are no longer the people they once were.
I would encourage you to speak with a licensed therapist if you are having trouble coping.
I hope that you have help with caregiving. Don’t wait until you are completely overwhelmed and exhausted before reaching out for help.
Wishing you peace as you navigate through this challenging time.

Perhaps you mean "frontotemporal dementia" abbreviated FTD. My husband was diagnosed with that in 2017. Here is a good article. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/frontotemporal-dementia/symptoms-causes/syc-20354737
