What Causes Frontotemporal Dementia?
Frontotemporal Lobe Dementia (FTD) dementia is progressive and relatively rare form of dementia that afflicts people who are typically younger than age 65 years. This disease affects the frontal and temporal lobes causing social disinhibition, loss of language, repetitive behaviors, apathy and distractibility. Lisa and Gary Radin, authors of “What If It’s Not Alzheimers?” also describe less common visual-spatial-perceptual impairments such as difficulty comprehending seen objects.
