On April 12, 2012, the Houston Area Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) Caregiver support group celebrated its two year anniversary with Dr. Paul Schulz, Professor of Neurology, UT-Houston Medical School, giving a presentation on FTD to a packed audience of family, friends and medical providers of those diagnosed with FTD. Dr. Schulz addressed specific concerns that most commonly arise in the support group including the complexity of the disease, basic pathology, rough stages of FTD (what to expect and how to prepare), roles of physicians, other medical personnel, assisted living staff and family caregivers in caring for the patient, types of medical care and drugs currently available and hope for the future.
