Understanding Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD), Part 1 | Webinar

The group of brain disorders known as frontotemporal degeneration or frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is frequently misdiagnosed and remains poorly understood. It is also the most common form of dementia in people under age 60. FTD produces different symptoms than Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, but takes an equally heavy emotional, physical, and financial toll. The goal of this free two-part series, taught by the local dementia experts at Alzheimer’s San Diego and a nationally recognized FTD expert and advocate, is to help professionals in various settings better understand the unique needs of people living with FTD and their care partners.
This free online training is available at no cost, thanks to support from the San Diego/Imperial Geriatric Education Center. Presented by Alzheimer's San Diego and FTD expert/advocate Sharon Hall in March 2022.

Thank you for an excellent video on Understanding FTD. Please keep information coming for families like myself. As a Registered Nurse I understand the FTD disorder but never imagined the unrelenting effects on families. This video gives people support and improved clarity.

I was recently diagnosed with mild neurocognitive disorder with FTD that cannot be ruled out at this time. I learned this from access to my medical records. I am 54 and have never heard of FTD. Obviously, doing some research. No FTD diagnosis in family but mother, grandmother and aunt all diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
