It is helpful when a comment includes the words behind the initials. I am unfamiliar with FTD. Not just for memory loss, but all afflictions of health when older. Will someone please fill me in? Thank you so much.
Search under care topics: Frontotemporal Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a disease that results in progressive damage to the temporal and/or frontal lobes of the brain. FTD causes a group of brain disorders that share clinical features and cause marked personality and behavior changes. Symptoms associated with atrophy of the frontal lobe are often misdiagnosed as mental illness.
CBS featured a story on this last week on 60 Minutes I believe. I was SHOCKED. I learned things about FTD that I had not realized in my previous reading. It's really a very destructive illness that often strikes younger people. The rate of progression can also be alarming. One of the patients that they actually featured has FTD and is aware of it. She's fighting and trying to bring awareness. Check it out if you can catch it online or On demand.
I wish I had seen that. No doubt, there are many diagnosis out there I'm oblivious to. Once you are caring for any one of them, everything becomes a blur, and eventually, the name of what you're dealing with doesn't matter any more. Hugs and best wishes to all.
CBS barely scratched the surface of FTD. In my opinion showing the people they did show would have been a good into to the disease. My Luz was diagnosed less than three years ago. She passed from complication in March. That disease progresses at a rate that can be unbelievable. Luz had been diagnosed less that three years when she passed away from complication from it. She went from putting her bra on after she had put on her blouse to not wearing more than a tee shirt in just a few weeks. I had to select her clothes and dress he to go out in public. So many things were not mentioned. CBS, in my opinion, only showed the very beginnings of the disease. No matter how long ago the subject was diagnosed. I could tell you a lot of changes that took place at a rapid pace with Luz. The neurologist was amazed at how much her frontal lobe had shrunk. A full hour on the subject would have been much better.
