I don't know what my problem is but I can't feel emotions. When this first started happening, my emotions came back. And my thoughts are like covered in memory emotion, but sometimes I forget that other people have emotions, so I'm rude, or I don't focus on them. "I" don't exist, but I exist as a unit. People all want to preserve themselves wihtin the group. This is their reasoning.

what if a person has a std too long could they get this illness???

[tohkondanzi]

Recently, there has been a significant increase in the number of shoplifters- mostly pity thefts- among the elderly in Japan where nearly a quarter of the residents are 65 and older (about 12% of this population in the U.S.). FTD could be striking these Jpn elderly though many of them said that a sense of lonliness/isolation pushed them to do so.

Is it caused by Trauma or disease?

[natbo1]

It's a progressive neurological disease that may be related to a physical trauma, but certainly also happens without any brain injury.

so if they don't know that what they are doing is wrong, how would they know it's wrong?

I mean I would see it as plain stealing, although if the person is wealthy and don't need it; then it would be a sign of dementia, but how are you able to know it is really true?

You can ask about the insight of their doings. i.e. ask him whether he know that was a wrong doing so. FTD pt frequently doesn't know it was wrong to steal, and normal person would tell the difference.
