Frontotemporal Dementia vs. Alzheimer’s Disease: Key differences in symptoms and stages
Dementia impacts the brain, affecting memory and daily life. Alzheimer's and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) are common types. Alzheimer's starts with memory loss, while FTD involves personality or language changes. Early diagnosis is crucial for care. Alzheimer's, common after 65, impairs memory and thinking. FTD, affecting younger individuals, alters behaviour and language. FTD patients retain memory but struggle with behaviour.
