FTD Medical Centers
FTD is among the most difficult conditions to diagnose because the symptoms can overlap with other illnesses such as depression, bipolar or Parkinson’s disease. A specialist can often make a clinical diagnosis with confidence. These specialists are devoted to understanding FTD and related diseases, and are engaged in research on the causes and potential treatments of FTD. The doctors at the research centers shown on this map are among the most experienced in diagnosing the disease. Click on the icon for a center near you to see contact information.
