What is frontotemporal dementia?

A group of disorders involving the progressive loss of nerve cells in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain (behind your forehead and ears). The brain shrinks and loses function in the affected areas. It can be caused by several conditions that are not fully understood. A family history of dementia increases the risk.

  • Tendency to do things that are socially unacceptable

  • Loss of interest in hobbies or leaving the house

  • Dressing and behavior has become sloppy, with little regard for what those around might think

  • Tendency to put random objects in the mouth
