FTD

Frontotemporal Dementia. formerly known as Pick's Disease is a dementia that initially attacks the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, before spreading throughout the rest of the brain eventually causing death.

The US Social Security Administration now lists FTD as a condition which qualifies one for Social Security Disability payments.

My wife was laid off from her job at age 59, and shortly thereafter was diagnosed with FTD (Frontotemporal Dementia).
