Talking Dementia: What is Frontotemporal Dementia?

#Family Carer #Podcast

Colm Cunningham chats with Steve Macfarlane, Head of Clinical Services at Dementia Support Australia, and Lynne Sewell whose husband, Rick, is living with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD).

Steve gives us a clinical overview of FTD, the differences from types of Dementia like Alzheimer's disease, typical features of the condition and outlines current treatment options.

Lynne then shares her story and advocacy for Rick, from his diagnosis to the challenges of finding assistance, both in terms of care and living arrangements.
