Frontotemporal Dementia Caregiver Support Center

What is the "Best FTD Resources " section?

This section includes the following resources:

• The book "What If It's Not Alzheimer's" by Lisa Radin and Gary Radin,
• The Association of Frontotemporal Dementia website
• The Pick's Disease Support Group website
• The University of California, San Francisco website
• The Family Caregiver Alliance website
• The National Institutes of Health website

The resources listed above are some helpful resources for Frontotemporal Dementia. While the book "What If It's Not Alzheimer's" is not a website, the book offers a great deal of information about Frontotemporal Dementia. None of the six resources are going to cover every topic listed on this website. Most of these resources discuss a lot of important topics. There are also many great articles elsewhere.

If one of the resources has a paragraph, a chapter in a book, or a web page discussing the topic this section will let you know the pages to read or the web page to visit. If it is a web page, you can click on the web page link and you will be redirected to the web page. Once you are ready to move on, click on your <Back> button to get back to the previous section.

Displayed below is a "Best FTD Resources " section from the "Caregiver's Issues - Managing Behaviors" web page. In the book, "What If It's Not Alzheimer's," you can go to Chapter 5 and read pages 73-90 for more information about managing behaviors. The Association of Frontotemporal Dementia has a paragraph or web page on managing behaviors.

A resource may have multiple articles to read. For example, "Pick's Disease Support Group" below has three different articles to read about managing behaviors. If a resource does not have any information about a particular topic, you will see, "No information was found on this website about this topic. for this topic on this website."

Each website also has a link directly to the resource right behind the resource title. The "(Website)" link will take you to the home page for the website.
