- Summary:
- A report on frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, the most common form of dementia among people under 60. FTD is always ultimately fatal and attacks the frontal lobe of the brain and manifests itself in patients slowly losing the ability to speak or make decisions and control impulses. Tracey Lind from Cleveland, a prominent preacher and civic leader, has slowly lost her ability to find the right words and will eventually lose the ability to speak completely. Mark Johnson suddenly stopped caring about the well-being of his wife and four children and now lives in an assisted living facility. Includes interviews with Reverend Tracey Lind; Lind's spouse Emily Ingalls; Dr. Bruce Miller, the world's leading expert on FTD; FTD patient Thomas Cox and his wife Lori; and Amy Johnson and her husband Mark, who has FTD.
