Also called Frontotemporal Dementia, Pick’s disease is a rare type of dementia occurring in older adults, affecting the frontal lobe areas of the brain, which causes issues such as behavioral and speech problems, eventually leading to death. Unlike Alzheimer’s, memory loss is not associated with Pick’s disease, however, there have been cases where the patient has difficulty recalling names and/or words as well as paranoia, delusions and lack of empathy.
