When changes in behavior, language, or personality appear, recognizing the cause can make a meaningful difference. This episode explores frontotemporal degeneration (FTD), why it is often overlooked as a type of dementia, and how earlier recognition can help connect individuals and families with support, resources, and informed care. Clinicians will also gain insights into key clinical red flags, diagnostic considerations, and available resources to improve care and quality of life for their patients.
