Description

Dementia is commonly thought of as something older people get and that it begins with problems with memory.  Neither of these is generally true for a person with FTD.  FTD starts in the frontal or temporal lobes and is the most common dementia for people under 60.  The initial changes can affect behavior, personality, communication, or movement.  This program will bring light to a commonly misunderstood and misdiagnosed dementia, differentiate it from Alzheimer’s disease, describe some of the ways it can impact families, and highlight how the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) brings help and hope to those living with the disease while also working toward a future free of FTD.
