Learn More About FTD
Do you know enough about young-onset dementia?
FTD, known as frontotemporal dementia, frontotemporal degeneration or Pick’s disease, is the most common dementia diagnosed before age 60.
FTD brings progressive changes to behavior, personality, language, and/or movement. Today, there are no treatments, nor is there a cure.
But there are reasons for hope: Research is advancing, and AFTD can offer resources, support and connection. We’re the nation’s leader in addressing FTD, and we’re here to help.
