According to NDTV, in patients with FTD, the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain shrink. Although the exact cause is not yet known, this condition can cause personality changes or behavioral modifications, which may make someone socially inappropriate, impulsive, or appear indifferent to those around them.
Some patients lose their ability to use language. According to Mayo Clinic, FTD can begin to appear between the ages of 40 and 65, and it is the cause of up to one-fifth of all dementia cases.
