Tools to help you recognize FTD sooner

For frontline clinicians

Educational and clinical reference resources

The signs and symptoms of FTD can be challenging to recognize – not only for family members and loved ones, but for health and medical professionals as well. These difficulties often lead to misdiagnoses with other neurodegenerative or psychiatric conditions, or to a delayed diagnosis with FTD overall.

To support improved understanding and identification of FTD, we have created tools and guides with comprehensive information about, and recommendations for assisting, those who may be affected by the disease. They are designed for primary care clinicians, emergency medicine professionals, and mental health practitioners.
