Frontotemporal Dementia: A Husband's Diagnosis at 29


Listen Later

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.
