FTD is also aka young onset dementia. Those below 60 with Dementia is YOD or FTD. There is no cure. Current available medication only alleviates the symptoms only. FTD will have personality change and affect the frontal lobes. The impact will be felt sooner than later.

Hi, @ngyose - apologies for the delay in responding to your post, but wanted to welcome you warmly to Mayo Clinic Connect.

By YOD, I'm assuming you are talking about young-onset dementia? Do you or someone you know well have frontotemporal dementia?
