It’s the most common dementia for those under 60, yet it’s widely misunderstood and too often misdiagnosed.
In some cases, FTD is caused by variants in a person’s genes. Learn about genetic counseling and genetic testing options.
FTD strikes earlier in life than other dementias – learn how to manage the challenges to family relationships, finances and even the health of caregivers.
Research studies and clinical trials are gaining momentum – learn how families and caregivers can participate in FTD research and unlock a cure.
Bring help and support to the next family affected by FTD – volunteer your time and talents, raise much-needed funds, change policy, or make a donation.
