Early detection of Frontotemporal dementia (FTD)

[@deniserusinski5354]

How many people have gotten fired and lost benefits because no one knew this was what was going on. This both sad and scarry.

Dementia at 24 after a long weekend?

[@ChickensBreast]

@@JeffreyWilliams-dr7qe Can you explain why after a long weekend?

[@nthabikobedi6135]

It is really valuable information about this diagnosis , much appreciated!

[@pattitibble]

It would have helped to focus longer on the slides instead of the speaker so much. Thanks for the information.

[@biloz2988]

It would’ve been better had you shown the slides more than showing her.

[@markgentry6688]

I agree

[@biloz2988]

[@michaelberes6660]

I would like to see research on how a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) accelerates the onset of FTD in a 63-year-old.

[@annberryn2224]

Michael Beres my brother is 27 and has these symptoms and also suffered a TBI

[@zamyrabyrd]

I am also curious about the effects of drug and/or alcohol abuse.

[@kdawson8981]

Same. I’m a 40yr old woman with a TBI and epilepsy. I’m of normal intelligence now, but I do worry about the future.

[@mnmdisney]

@@kdawson8981 hi, I have about 14 years on you, I started noticing some serious issues about 6 years ago, my cognitive abilities are noticeably progressing. Take b1s everyday.

[@gretchenlhommedieu9246]

I would also like to know if TBI affects FTD.

[@texashomesteading]

When will it show on an MRI? Early on?? When family notices a personality change…

[@MrsRexLover]

Thanks for posting this. I'm gonna get my husband tested for the genetic marker for FTD.

[@wody]

[@wody]

HarbysBarbie have you take your husband do s-pet examination, tell me how is thing going

Also very scary if your the one with brain injury, I fell more than 40ft bedroom window on to concrete steps head first so yes I have brain damage

[@bruceelliston2804]

Very helpful, appropriate and insightful information. Thank you BrainCheck!!

[@rhiatan361]

Very well explained

[@michelleharrell3283]

Very helpful and insightful. I have a question. What about someone who has a severe case of TBI that wiped their memory and they had to start all over again 28 years ago? The accident was due to military boots on the ground and the frontal lobe was what took the most damage from the accident. He is now 53 ( my husband ) how can I tell if he has the beginings of Frontal lobe dementia when he has a Traumatic Brain Injury? Are there different tests that can be done? Is there a difference between the two?

[@brucey5232]

There will be treatment--in 6000yrs.

[@marciasloan534]

What # are the GENES ??

[@lalulu03]

How can I get tested for FTD and Alzheimer's please? Dad had early onset Alzheimer's, died at 64; and we've just lost mum to vascular and FTD Dementia at 82.

[@avrib7935]

You can ask your Dr (GP) for how to tests if you do notice change yourself.

[@shadowgod7523]

What’s the cause?

[@lisakesecker3059]

very nice we know what dementia is we want treatment but nada

[@jeanettesdaughter]

Lisa Kesecker you have to know what it is and what all of the possible causes could be to treat it. How else to proceed? Scattershot? I’m observing it in my sister: the obsessive eating, the poor hygiene, compulsive behaviors, disinhibition and aggression. Her language skills were stellar ( law professor) so she can fool you with the rhythm of speech but the content isn’t there. Senseless repetition and monologues. Anyway, eating celery or whatever won’t restore these cognitive functions. Maybe her formerly healthy diet delayed some of them. Of course, there could be some improvement of certain symptoms with better diet, regular exercise and so on. These are the things that improve quality of life for everyone, ill or well. But the loss of gray matter is the problem, the loss of neurotransmitters that control everything we do. Don’t be so hasty. It took generations for people to connect hand washing to disease prevention! Hand washing. But even in that case once a patient was septic, gangrenous, all the hand washing in the world wouldn’t stop the growth of deadly bacteria at the micro level. . Discovery takes time. We/they know more today than we/they did yesterday. My sister started changing years ago, different people noticed different things but no one spoke up and she covered up brilliantly - until she couldn’t, until the ostrich approach by certain well meaning colleagues and others had nearly made her a danger to herself and other people.

One of worst directions I have ever seen.. why not showing the slides for people to see the slides while listening… moving between the presenter , then showing the slides for a quarter of a second then showing the stage was extremely awkward!
