- Frontotemporal dementia is a type of dementia that affects the front and sides of the brain, leading to changes in behavior, personality, and language. This condition is often misdiagnosed or overlooked, but it can have a significant impact on the lives of those affected and their loved ones.
In this video, we'll explore the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for frontotemporal dementia. We'll discuss the early warning signs to watch out for, including changes in social behavior, difficulty with language, and poor decision-making skills.
We'll also explore the underlying causes of frontotemporal dementia, including genetic mutations and abnormal protein deposits in the brain. And we'll discuss the various treatment options available, from medications to behavioral therapy and support groups.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, it's important to seek out the right treatment and support. This video will provide you with the information and resources you need to make informed decisions about your care.

I have an 83 year-old friend with FTD. It's so sad to see a man who used to be so sharp and productive suffer from such a devastating condition.
I feel strongly that my father had this and it was not picked up properly by his physicians, until he was close to the end when they FINALLY noticed. Dad was brilliant and the signs of decline were not easy to see from an outsider's point of view when he was so different from his former self, but was still equal to an average person. I could tell them until I was blue in the face that he had issues, but I was ignored, because he could accurately draw a clock face even when he had all the signs. Medical providers need to listen to family.
How many times have I drawn that clock face??
And regurgitated the five words?

LOL!
Our doctor said” he drives here ok “when we told him about our dads need to stop driving after some harrowing incidents.
That's terrible. @@noName-kn1lx
To be candid, one of the first, common signs of FTD is that the victim becomes nasty. I knew someone, whom I would see for a few days, every year, at hobby conventions. One year, he was not himself. He was rude to me and to others. He objected to judges rulings in hobby contests. Oddly, he became attached to my, then, 3-year-old son. Soon after that, he was diagnosed with FTD and passed about three years thereafter. I mention this because Bruce Willis acquired a reputation, in his later years, for being hard to work with. Maybe we should cut him some slack.
Yes, my former mild-mannered brother, 74, became very nasty as well. So much so that his wife of 50 yrs divorced him not knowing he had FTD. Now he's being romance-scammed online by Nigerians.
does that [partially] explain the issues with Kevin Smith and Cop Out?
In 1990 my car was totaled from the rear and I appeared ok. But began having sleep problems immediately. Then muscle pain, problems accessing thoughts. It was diagnosed as Fibromyalgia, which is known to affect thought processes.
Then in 2014 I had Mold Illness. CT Scan Showed issues in area of frontal lobe, white matter along with a growth. I had amnesia for three months. The growth appears to be calcifying. Then I had COVID. Caused Memory problems too. When I'm tired I still lose words and thought flow. It's frightening for me because I live alone. I don't know what the future holds.
I'm so sorry for your injuries and illness! I pray that you get the help and healing you need!
Load up on vit C from foods. No wheat, unless non modified and fermented. No corn rice dairy. Lots of trace minerals from Utah sea distilled water
Justine...read your comment and totally get how frightened one can be when these things happen and living alone...do you have any family near by? Do you have friends close that can help with things like grocery shopping etc? I am so sorry this has happened to you. It is scary I know. I wish I knew a way to help.
Hi Justine. I'm sorry for your condition. I'm sick with fibromyalgia too due to several assaults but most probably I had it since my childhood, I just was misdiagnosed and then in adulthood it worsened because of what I've passed through. I wish you all the best. Take care of yourself and treat your fibromyalgia, I'm sure you know concerning ways of treatment. I hope your relatives and friends will help you with everything you need. God bless you.
I do so sorry please seek help from friends and family
Willis the artist certainly gave we poor folk a lot of joy, a noteworthy accomplishment for any mortal man. God bless him!
Self Care is wrapped around care for the patient. There is simply no break.
I am so grateful for this vlog, and would really appreciate some future follow-up vlogs that address (e.g., the process of identifying the type of neurological disease; clinical trials, etc.). My mom fell down a flight of stairs, and it was a horrible accident. She was eventually diagnosed in 2011 with dementia, but I was struggling (then and now) to identify which complex monster (neurological disease) is present. From a primary Caregiver perspective, this has been THE most emotionally exhausting journey. I welcome continuous education for myself, but I am frustrated that not all neurologists are on the same page, and I'm infuriated by the lack of support from my siblings (just being honest) - which I've accepted is never going to change.
I wish I there was a cure for him. 😔🙏🏼
In my mid 60s I developed many of the symptoms you present. I think I was exposed to a toxic environment possibly water and air contamination. My housing was destroyed and living in an SUV and later a van my environment being outside a city is more natural. All of my symptoms for four years are in remission.
@ Joseph Piskac
Having lived outside the apartment dwelling or house for double digit years, 23 yrs ago, living outside like that has a totally different brain awakening than when one is enclosed. It's vibrant, in that we have to immediately respond to the outdoors as opposed to getting "ready" to go out. I mean things are in your face when they are not when you live "indoors". You have to be more on "spot" - as an older woman, I do. So I moved back and settled in. There are good qualities in your way of living - always having the sun in your face...
Good luck with all 🌹✝️🌹
An excellent summary! 🙏 😊
Excellent video once again
Thank you! 😊
Thank you my doctor
Can you elucidate us about Lew body dementia?
An aggressive form of dementia. My friend was diagnosed. Passed within a year.
Elucidate? Okay
Dr. Mike does an MRI and/or a cat scan show which neurological disease is present? My mom died from dementia/Alzheimer's. When she was 1st diagnosed, her doctor said we would only know which disease if an autopsy was done. TYFS Cindy
Unfortunately, my brother in law died from a rare form of Alzheimer disease. The body - without his brain telling him - stopped doing "things", like swallowing. In the long run speech was non existent. But if this could be diagnosed, why couldn't "they" diagnose your mom before an "autopsy"? Today, one has to fight with Drs, more than anything. I had to fight like hell to get the surgery I needed! It was horrible.
So sorry for your loss 🙏🏻
Agreed I have no idea why docs can’t do a tiny brain biopsy to look for Alz in a LIVE person!
Audio of this is heavily weighted towards the right speaker fyi.
Having to Live with one of the worse sickness can be exhausting but I still have to believe I can be healed.
@Casey Muller That’s nice, I have Been diagnosed with a cancer and I will definitely need her help and would also want to know how to get in touch with her. I hope she cures other sickness also?
@Casey Muller Thank you a lot you are a life saver. I have found her website on the internet.
Thank you for yet again, an oh, so relevant topic. As we get older - next birthday, I will have completed my 67th year of life - "forgetfulness" happens. When my older sister, 79 yrs, said something to me about her memory and I responded, What memory?! She hung up on me 🤣
There are a ton of free apps that do help our brains, from words to pictures. They are beneficial. Let's face it, when there are seven letters and you can't make a three letter word, you're in trouble. Find differences in pictures, hidden objects, grouping of like items, cards are great for stimulating the memory - there are just so many brain friendly games that are worth our while!
Thank you, DR. HANSEN ❗
I disagree that speech therapy would help. My husband had FTD and I took care of him at home the entire time. He could not follow directions or do something asked of him on command. Just not possible - his brain was broken, which included comprehension.
May God bless us with good healthy brain ..Amenn 🙏🏻🙏🏻
...seek God while we can ...while we are healthy because once we have these type of health problem ..hmm I'm afraid there's nothing we can do. One of my friend in church passed away a few days ago..she had dementia...forgot everything, fall down ...and ..no more 😢 ...
.so let us take good care of our health 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I seen some impressive results including depression and the list goes on and on and on..with people on a very low carbohydrate or carnivore food plan.
We need a cure.
My mother had this and would have died of this had she not died from metastatic breast cancer last July. My sister and I are awaiting genetic testing to see if we will go on to develop this.
If you check online image sets for Type II Diabetes, from sites like Radiopaedia, you will see the same carotid sheath compression as in this video at the 6:22 mark, as vagus nerve compression can cause an increase in inflammation that could be more of a factor than genetics too, especially if the issues were from trauma, just my non professional observation, I have concerns for similar reasons to yours, that's why I was looking.
I have FTD. Thank you for shedding light on this illness. Mine is mixed with multiple system atrophy.
This woman with had a blog and said cannabis OIL seemed to put it in remission from advancing. Not sure what the update is now, this was years ago. Try it out. Turmeric/fish oil also good for brain plaques.
@@jam6876 Thank you for the advice.
@@TheMagpie123hello how old are you? And how you diagnosed with FTD
@@qpDemonqp The FTD was discovered after a brain scan and a follow up 18 mths later.
How sad
A note to Dr. Handsen. Audio on the left is weak.
hi Dr. Hanson, whats up with yhe mic? you sounded fine before. its distracting unfortunately. it kills the "casual chlllin with Mike" vibe. ill get used to it as your words are whats most important. i just like lookin at ya and this friggin mic is in the way. 😊
Is there a link between people with diabetes and FTD?
High blood pressure sometimes up and sometimes down .
NAC (N Acetyl Cysteine) - thoughts, sir?
My great grandmother , grandma and grandpa all have dementia and Alzheimer’s. My mom have FTD.
Something is borked with your audio lately. Only getting audio out of one speaker for some of your more recent videos. Older videos are just fine.
I had under 18. But had extreme confusion memory loss extrusive
So can someone suffering from this still understand everything and are just not able to communicate back or do they lose their understanding as well?
If you mean, do folks with these issues often have cognitive issues too, then yes ...
Excellent but you missed the association of ALS with FTD: more than average ALS patients also get FTD and vice versa. Also, affected tissue types are the same and microscopic evidence in cells are similar. See the newest ALS literature.
ALS can involve the same compression of carotid sheath structures of the internal jugular vein and vagus nerve and such, I noticed that browsing some ALS cervical spine MRI sets online, similar to the image seen at the 6:22 mark in this video, but it seems to have compression lower as well, good point though!
We need cure and clear cause 😢😢
Please upload doctor gave wrong medicine causes front of brain nerve damage to cause tongue itching ,numb bite ,can't speak language fluently ( just like stroke person speaking ).
?? Music Therapy.
Music therapy is often used with those suffering any kind of dementia.
I have to be aggressive with the Internal Medicine , I have requested a few referrals , Neurologist, and Vascular Dementia they are not top notch doctors , I feel strongly they don’t pick up on a lot , that’s why I keep
Telling them
The causes are unknown
This disease is a curse
Does this explain the raw meat hat he wore years ago on Letterman?
Possibly. Personality changes are the first signs of any kind of dementia.
i wouldn't be surprised if he had a brain tumor causing his symptoms...they should check him out for that...
Good point, though I think they've checked (unless I'm wrong in assuming that).
Also known as covidus injectus clotious
Username checks out
@@melissahoneybee8493 died suddenly
Hate Booh
Irrelevant to me
LOL for now.....
Could this be what is causing Trump's outbursts and angry behavior? Person, woman, man, TV, camera? Wretched diet, no exercise, negative social interactions, delusional rants?
I've wondered too!
You need to look at biden
Whats your excuse for your obsession with him?
Fluoride IN THE WATER
Most likely for Bruce Willis it was caused by alcohol consumption.
