- The most common form of dementia for people under 60 years old is a disorder few have heard of. “60 Minutes” revealed the devastating consequences of frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, on Sunday. It attacks the part of the brain that controls speech and personality. It is frequently misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s or depression. Dr. Edward Huey, associate professor of psychiatry and neurology at Columbia University, joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss the disease.

How, how sad for this poor young lady. My heart hurt just listening to her. I pray she gets lots of support.
So glad to see people talking about this and sharing it. We need earlier diagnosis. Families like ours literally lose everything just trying to get diagnosis, and then there is no help afterwards either. We have spouses and young children trying to handle life with dementia in the home, and no one glances their way. So proud of everyone working to share awareness. That's how we will finally have a cure.
I’m not too sure about the percentage, but my girlfriend has FTD and she was diagnosed at the age of 72. She’s now 75. Can’t talk. Eat sweets. Can’t hardly walk anymore. She used to be a great dancer. That’s how I met her. Now she’s in Assissted Living. I go visit her once to twice a week. Bring her a Coke and french fries. And just sit with her for three hours. Of course I do all the talking. She just looks at me now . Nods her head. Hold hands. Tell her I love her. I put my hand on my heart and her heart. And tell her that. And that’s our relationship now
My mother’s mother, my grandmother died in 1959 at 53 from what as far as I know was only known as Pick’s Disease. For years it was such a rare thing there was almost no information on the disease. She lived her last few years in a mental institution. My mother told such painful memories of her mother and this disease.
My mother had end stage renal failure and she's only 45. Her sweet daycare personally is gone most of the time.
Oh my God... this is hopefully what my Dad has. It makes sense and I miss him...
very sad. **
My Mom has this. It's a horrible disease, just horrible.
angel3121000 mine too
Mine too. I wish you and your mom well.
Mine too...Keep strong
This was very interesting. As a medical examiner, I worry that we don't appreciate dementia as much as we should. Perhaps it's something we could work up a bit more postmortem.
@Some Person I think all those things are possible. The human mind is obviously extraordinarily complex, and the farther we delve into it the more questions arise! There are so many factors, as you allude to.
The doctor in this clip is wrong. FTD is not fatal. All our doctors have told me that my wife may actually outlive me. She was diagnosed about 10 years ago, but probably had it for at least 3 years before that.
@@johnfriedmann2413 The on-screen stat says Progression 2-20+ yrs.
@@johnfriedmann2413 r u able to treat her? **
@@rodneyleon3645 thx.
I ham hoping that my mother accepts testing for dementia soon as, her behavior has been very narcissistic. I’ve, in fact, been learning about narcissism for over a year, due to her behavior, but I think she also has dementia, either frontotemporal, vascular or possibly Alzheimer’s. I’m not sure if there are other forms.
Are those with ADHD more likely to get it. And can you do anything to prevent it.
My husband has this, to those that think this is funny, walk a foot in my shoes .
My husband had this.
The only answer to the question what can we do to keep our brains healthy is a great research and a book from Dr. Bredesen.
Now the brain is very important. Whenever theres damage to it expect change.
Remember a brain injury even a concussion can bring about these symptoms
Wow ..
Primary progressive alphica, horrible disease. Never heard of it till my mother was diagnosed.
This doesn’t make any sense to me.
My husband has FTD
I wonder if my dad had wet brain or had this....
Most common cause of death is pneumonia?
Could it be smart meters? ....
Mom you don't got dementia I forgot the soap myself

Gail u need a new wig

Sounds like narcissism
If you would only know better..
Sounds like you have FTD.
Is this what happens when people watch Fox News?
sounds like he is smoking pot and hiding it from his wife....LOL
This is cruel. Why would you make fun of something that causes such pain and suffering? Would you want this said of one of your family members or even yourself if you were to be diagnosed?
