Wendy Williams' progressive aphasia, frontotemporal dementia diagnosis

The news of Wendy Williams' dementia-linked diagnoses is an important reminder that the conditions are often missed initially by medical providers, according to Dr. Sandra Weintraub, a clinician and neuropsychologist at Northwestern University, who joined CBS News with a look at the medical effects.

I’ve never cared for her show but as a fellow human, my thoughts are with her and her family. This really sucks.

[@crystalgrose]

Prayers and Love for both Wendy and Bruce 🙏🏾♥️♥️🙏🏾

[@FreedomForAll1-]

Why are you calling her Bruce? That's not nice

[@lavonnetollison724]

I never cared for Wendy, but this is very sad news about her.

[@jaimepimentel1502]

Yup

Prayers

[@marietaylor5174]

I am so so sorry; I will keep Wendy in my daily prayers.

[@libertyann439]

I've not followed either of these celebs, but I'm sad for them and their families. These diseases are worse than death imo because the sufferers are aware of their decline. That must be so painful.

[@summersnow5234]

Love Wendy Williams show. So sad since I wanted her to make a comeback. Prayers to her and her family.

[@itsalmostoolate]

Love and prayers

[@carribgirl007]

A lot of these sicknesses and diseases that people in the states suffer with other countries have never heard of. I am sure the foods and all the chemicals in the foods and products play a massive roll.

[@edyann]

Even though she was so awful, laughing at others' misfortune- I still wish her well.

[@22__24]

I hate it for here as well but all she ever did was make fun of other people, which I thought not something one should do.

[@user-yt8hm4oc5r]

not a fan of hers, but this is an awful disease. Gosh wish her the best. I hope she has close family and friends to support her. Bruce also has this disease, but he has loving family and friends.

[@margiecampbell714]

HOW CAN WE DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN GOP MAGA POLITICIANS AND THOSE PPL DISPLAYING FRONTAL-TEMPORAL DEMENTIA?!!?

[@lopear111]

You spelled “democrats” wrong.

[@yonnamiddleton5626]

Seems weird 😢

[@doodleartlover]

I always knew she was crazy... this explains it.

[@user-hv4ls6dw3k]

Good. Haha.

[@ratednudeearth]

She was followed. The dementia that you all state is simply her not knowing how honest she wants to be without being called crazy. She can’t be honest ,if and when she can’t trust yet she can’t even look up and expect people to understand who aren’t real enough about her career. Her evils aren’t leaving regardless who doesn’t speak up for her..however, her evils aren’t moving despite her health as in… “she will be ok” cause nothing can hurt her without being exposed. This message is in her vision. People need to know how to perceive fear verses real diagnosis. She isn’t sick.she in shock that is not laughable and not treatable without being known of source

[@gl241]

Couldn’t happen to a nicer person.

[@martinkrukenberg4590]

result of her drug use?

[@luckyugarcia2687]

I know people that never touch drugs and have all type of mental disorders. Let’s stop throwing stones , life is to short. Show love and enjoy this short time on earth

[@daniellatessier9652]

This is garbage reporting.

[@Aceshooting]

She wasted all the good will many celebrities had for her by sharing their personal business on the air for America to hear about.

[@kintsukuroi6300]

I never saw her show but now that you mention this I am curious to know what type of dirt she threw out on them.

[@innerlocus]

Is that why Donald Trump keeps talking about the lack of water pressure?

[@FortitudineVincimus]

He complains about low water pressure because he hated waiting for the tank to refill while he was flushing incriminating documents. 😂
