On today’s episode we’re joined by Katie Brandt from Portsmouth, RI, whose husband Mike was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) at 29 years old. Her difficult journey led her to become a passionate advocate and a professional in the dementia and caregiver space – Katie is well known as a dementia care expert, powerful public speaker and educator. We discuss the difference between Alzheimer’s and FTD, the symptoms of FTD, how to talk to a physician when you’re concerned about changes in your loved one, and more.
