Frontotemporal dementia usually emerges in the right side of the brain, where it causes dramatic changes in behavior and emotions, including disinhibition and apathy. When FTD emerges on the left side of the brain, it causes a slow disintegration of language and speech. In some of these patients, visual creativity emerges, even while their minds are deteriorating. Eventually the disease spreads across the brain.

  • It's so difficult to get an accurate diagnosis in cases of brain injury.

  • Thank you so much for posting this. My mother was diagnosed with dementia after suffering for years with breathing problems...her decline was fairly rapid..it only took a few years for her to go from self independence to completely bed ridden with only the faintest awareness surroundings. It was the most horrible thing to witness as her child.
