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.
Typical Symptoms of Frontotemporal Dementia
- Difficulty speaking, performing tasks, or recognizing things
- Unable to speak, although I understand what people are saying
- Tendency to do things that are socially unacceptable
- History of dementia
- Personality change
- Poor memory
- Increased aggression and irritability over small things recently
- I noticed or have been told that I am acting strangely or differently lately
Diagnostic Questions for Frontotemporal Dementia
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you been experiencing difficulty speaking, performing tasks, or recognizing things?
- Can you understand others but struggle to express yourself clearly?
- Have you engaged in socially unacceptable behavior, like shoplifting or stealing religious offerings?
- Have you been diagnosed with dementia?
- Do you feel your personality has changed?
Treatment of Frontotemporal Dementia
There is no cure for frontotemporal dementia. However, speech therapy and certain medications have been used to reduce symptoms, as behavior and language can be affected in this condition.
