How To Spot Pick's Disease (Frontotemporal Dementia)

The Distinguishing Features Of Pick’s Disease

When it comes to looking for signs and diagnosing Pick’s disease, doctors will generally look for a few distinct behavioral, emotional, and physical signs. These signs include if the individual is showing classic symptoms of Pick’s disease before the age of sixty-five, personality changes, a lack of inhibition, they tend to roam around more often, and a loss of normal controls such as they’ve become more gluttonous and hypersexual. With these major changes taking place, it is essential for the affected individual’s loved ones to remember that these difficult behaviors are not done with malice or out of ill-will, but are all signs of a progressively changing brain, as many of these patients are unaware and are unable to control these problematic behaviors.
