While Pick's disease or frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a less common form of dementia, it is a significant cause of dementia in people under the age of 65. Patients with Pick's initially exhibit marked personality and behavioral changes, before a decline in the ability to speak coherently. This means it can be frequently misdiagnosed in the early stages as depression or Alzheimer's disease. There is currently no cure for Pick's disease, but by understanding the unique symptoms you can better manage the disease and improve your quality of life.
