 | Frontotemporal disorders (FTD), such as frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia, and some movement disorders, may cause up to 10 percent of all cases of dementia and may be about as common as Alzheimer's among people younger than age 65. These disorders lead to dementias that rob people of basic abilities like thinking, talking, walking, and socializing. The NIH booklet Frontotemporal Disorders: Information for Patients, Families, and Caregivers explains what is known about the different types of disorders and how they are diagnosed. Most importantly, it describes how to treat and manage these difficult conditions, with practical advice for caregivers. Read this publication online or order copies on the ADEAR Center website or call toll-free 1-800-438-4380. Help spread the word about FTD by linking to this booklet on your website or via your social media accounts. | |
