6Frontotemporal Dementia
Frontotemporal dementia, also known as Pick’s disease, refers to some forms of dementia. All affect the side and front regions of the brain, which are responsible for behavior and language. People around 45 years old tend to be at a higher risk. The exact cause of frontotemporal dementia is still unclear, but some genetic factors might increase the risk. This means the condition may run in families, so it is better to have a regular health check when you have parents or siblings with this health issue. The typical symptoms include compulsive behaviors, loss of motivation, loss of inhibitions, as well as speech issues, such as forgetting the meaning of some very common words. [6]
