In this episode, we tackle one of the most common FTD symptoms, apathy. We do this first with Maria's Mother's best friend Melina, who shares the apathy she witnessed at the beginning of Lia's disease that left her feeling so confused.
Then we pair the science -- Lauren Massimo, co-director of the Penn FTD Center, and someone who has been studying apathy for nearly 20 years, dives into the different aspects of apathy, some suggestions for coping with it, and just a deeper understanding of this aspect of FTD.
We want to send big love to the entire Penn FTD Center Team for jumping in feet first, to our sponsors for their support and to our guests for openly sharing their stories.
