It’s the most common dementia for people under 60. But FTD, or Frontotemporal degeneration, is little known today, even for doctors.

As the disease progresses, the person affected may experience increasing difficulty in planning or organizing activities. They may behave inappropriately in social or work settings, and have trouble communicating with others, or relating to loved ones.

Shady Grove my little miss
 Shady Grove my darling
 Shady Grove my little miss
 I’m going back to Harlan
 

 Every time I walk this road
 It’s always dark and cloudy
 Every time I see that girl
 I always tell her howdy
 

 If you see my little miss
 If you see my darling
 If you see my little miss
 Tell her I’m going to Harlan

They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.

— Hosea  4:13
