How can a person who exhibits many symptoms of bvFTD and needs help getting a diagnosis do this when insurance does not cover the more precise PET scans or genetic testing? Can he volunteer to participate in research ?

In 2019 I was told I had FTD. I was misdiagnosed . I am still alive though I never recovered all my memory. It turned out memory and speech deficits were caused my excessive electroshock treatments for depression. I am so grateful to be spared this horrible disease, even though I had to live for two years in a nursing home before my brain recovered.

God Bless your two families! I was just told 10 years ago i was diagnosed with ftd but doctors never told us . Just said i was depressed. Its got worse the last 6 months and we went to a hospital that does research and they said right away what it was. We fought so many years saying i cant drive and get lost and have trouble with my words. Because doctors never saw the dad days... they said i was just depressed and put me on mefs that flipped me out. Its been so hard but even learning what it is was the hardest. Thank each of you for sharing

my father was suffering from dementia. This year he passed away on 12th January 2024. This is a very painful disease. bvFTD Means Shrinkage Of Front Side Of Brain bvftd symptoms are personality changes, patient loses weight, has memory loss, cannot eat on his own, cannot wear clothes, cannot walk and has sleep problems In frontotemporal dementia, the patient also suffers from #apahsia Means loss of voice.he can't speak Science has just found out that there is no cure for this disease, why this disease occurs, science still does not know. Quran had told about dementia 1500 years ago. This is one of the signs of Allah See video-kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y36rg5V_ms-sqKMsi=gq7YIGRXD7INM6g_

Thank you all for sharing your stories. I agree with Bob, the word “dementia” is misleading. People “think” they know what dementia means, i.e. forgetfulness, child-like, unable to answer questions, etc, and they make assumptions about what you can or cannot do. I wish they understood that brain cells are dying, and its a terminal disease.
