Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a type of dementia, which is rare and usually develops in people aged 40–60 years. However, it can appear in people as young as 20 years of age.

It causes problems with thinking and speaking, as well as behavioural changes that progressively worsen over time.

People with Pick’s disease tend to have more problems with speech than those with Alzheimer’s disease.
