Podcasts about Frontotemporal dementia

When someone we know or love starts to develop psychological issues, we don't often associate it with a form of dementia. However, this trait is one of the most common signs of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) — the most common neurodegenerative disease in people under the age of 65. In his new book, Mysteries of the Social Brain: Understanding Human Behavior Through Science, Dr. Bruce Miller highlights his experiences observing people with FTD and what they have taught him about what he calls the "social brain."Dr. Bruce Miller has been observing people with FTD for decades in the Memory and Aging Center at the University of San Francisco, where he is also Professor of Neurology and the Founding Director of the Global Brain Health Institute. He shares key insights on how to keep our "social brain" healthy and how it can even unlock our creative potential.

Careblazer, did you know you could lower your dementia risk by nearly 50% just by changing some everyday habits? In this video, I'm walking you through 14 research-backed lifestyle changes you can start making today—based on the 2024 Lancet Commission Report. These are modifiable risk factors, which means they're things you actually have control over. As a board-certified geropsychologist, I see so many people feel helpless when it comes to brain health. But this video is here to show you that you have more power than you think. From hearing loss and blood pressure to social isolation and air pollution, I'll explain what each risk factor means and exactly how you can take action.

People with dementia sometimes see people and things that aren't there… even people who've passed away! But what does it really mean when someone with dementia starts having visual hallucinations? In this episode, I'm sharing the surprising truth about hallucinations — one of the most confusing and misunderstood symptoms in dementia care. Some are harmless. Others? A warning sign.  Whether your loved one has ever said “There's someone in the room…” …or you've heard stories that seem impossible — you'll want to listen to this.  If you'd like to see this episode on video, you can hop on over to my YouTube channel here.

Government is talking about cutting Medicare and Medicaid funding while costs of care are increasing. Dementia used to be considered a mental defect, and people were hidden from the rest of society and not talked about publicly Today, we know tis is a disease that needs to be managed. We also know that younger people are developing memory concerns. The plus is that we're not afraid to talk about it anymore. The negative is that we're delaying the needed planning until it's too late to design meaningful planning strategies. Here are links to the resources I discuss in this episode.

Here, Elin Adcock shares her powerful journey through her husband's ALS and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnoses—and how she's now leading the charge to support families facing the same fight.  When Elin's husband, Larry was diagnosed with both ALS and FTD, her world changed forever.  In this episode, Elin shares how she navigated the overwhelming challenges of caregiving through two devastating and progressive diseases—often without a clear roadmap or coordinated support. After her husband's passing, Elin turned her grief into action, becoming a fierce advocate for families facing similar dual diagnoses. Her story is one of love, resilience, and the power of transforming personal loss into lasting impact.

This week, I sit down with Katie Prentiss, a filmmaker, actress, and caregiver who transformed her most profound loss into a powerful creative mission. Katie shares her raw and inspiring journey of caring for her mother through frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a challenging form of dementia that impacts personality and communication far differently than traditional memory-loss conditions.At the age of 62, Katie's mother, Maggie, passed away from FTD. Through our conversation, we follow Maggie's transition from caregiver to actress and the filmmaking of her debut film, "Wake Up Maggie," hoping to raise awareness about dementia and caregiving.  Katie beautifully describes grief as a "slow goodbye." She shares transformative perspectives, saying that grief doesn't have to have the final word and that facing fear can become a pathway to clarity and purpose. And, my favorite: the sun is always shining above the clouds, even when we can't see it. Katie has had to learn how to embrace life fully, knowing the genetic uncertainty of FTD, following the diagnosis of another family member. But she's already learned how creative expression is a healing outlet and the importance of viewing midlife as an unraveling. Key Takeaways:Understanding the unique challenges of frontotemporal dementia.The emotional landscape of caregiving for a parent with a progressive illness.How grief can be a catalyst for personal transformation.The power of creative expression in processing loss.RESOURCES:Movie | "Wake Up Maggie"IMDbIG | Wake Up MaggieCONNECT WITH KATIE:WebsiteIGFBYouTubeSend Victoria a text message!
