What is Frontotemporal dementia?

The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration defines FTD as a set of brain illnesses that affect behavior, language, and movement and are brought on by degeneration of the frontal and/or temporal lobes of the brain. It may manifest as aphasia.

According to the organization, frontotemporal degeneration has an average life expectancy of seven to thirteen years from the onset of symptoms and is described as “an unavoidable deterioration in functionality.”
