Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a group of disorders that result from damage to the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Depending on the location of the damage, the disorder causes changes in social behavior, personality, and/or loss of language skills. In addition, some people (between 10 and 20 percent) with FTD also develop neuromuscular and movement disorders, such as parkinsonism or motor neuron disease (also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s disease).
FTD is a common cause of early dementia. Symptoms worsen over time as more parts of the brain are affected. Unlike typical Alzheimer’s disease, however, memory usually remains intact in the early stages of FTD.
FTD consists of three subtypes:
Behavioral variant FTD – bvFTD (also called frontal variant FTD). This subtype accounts for about 50 percent of all cases of FTD. Persons with bvFTD experience progressive changes in personality, behavior, emotions, and planning and problem-solving skills.Nonfluent primary progressive aphasia (PPA) — (also called agrammatic PPA). People with this subtype have difficulty forming and speaking words because the brain has trouble planning and performing the facial muscle movements needed to produce speech. They often seem to have problems with grammar, such as leaving out words or mixing up words, effortful speech, and communicate with shorter, simpler, sometimes incomplete phrases.Semantic variant PPA (also called temporal variant FTD or semantic dementia). People with this subtype slowly lose their ability to understand the meanings of words, recognize everyday objects and familiar faces, and/or use common items.
If Trump thinks that wearing a mask makes him look bad he should watch videos of himself trying to navigate a ramp or drink a glass of water with TWO hands. I would not be surprised if the Con Man in Chief is hiding another medical condition. His existing mental illness is on display everyday. He never did complete his last annual physical. It’s past time for him to retreat to Mar-A-Lardo before he’s incarcerated in federal/state prison. Lets send him on his way as a one term President (the shame of it) with a bigly loss in November.
