National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke describes Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) as a clinical syndrome associated with shrinking of the frontal and temporal anterior lobes of the brain. Originally known as Pick’s disease, the name and classification of FTD has been a topic of discussion for over a century. A person with Frontotemporal Dementia (pFTD) will worsen over time, and there is currently no cure. 

Frontotemporal dementia can be defined as damage to the frontal and temporal lobe areas of the brain. These damage areas can causes a variety of different symptoms and each pFTD will experience the condition in his or her own individual way. Each pFTD more than likely will have different timelines in symptoms.

This website is packed with links to web pages full of information to help you. This website has two different menu accesses. Up on top is a horizontal menu with "What is Dementia?", "Types of Dementia", "Caregiver Issues", "Financial and Legal Issues", and "Research Opportunities." Under each of these options are more options to select from. Along the side is more menu options to select from.

My goal for this website to get other families to help identify and collect website information so this website can provide the best and most current information available. If you run across a website that provides good information about FTD, please send it to FTD Support.
