FTD Diagnosis: Checklists for Families and Physicians

Concerned that you or someone you love has FTD?

Not all physicians know about FTD, so it is often misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all. FTD symptoms are not always listed on patient screeners, so AFTD developed checklists to help identify red flags for the two most common types of FTD - behavioral variant FTD (bvFTD) and primary progressive aphasia (PPA).
