Wendy Williams has frontotemporal dementia. What is FTD?
Associated PressWendy Williams has been diagnosed with a form of dementia, according to a statement released Thursday on behalf of her caretakers. The 59-year-old former talk show host was diagnosed last year with with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia “after undergoing a battery of medical tests,” according to the statement. Frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, is a rare disease that affects parts of the brain controlling behavior and language. “It’s a really tough diagnosis, I have to tell you,” said Johns Hopkins University cognitive scientist Brenda Rapp. “Maybe you’re doing things that are bothering people and you don’t really understand why they’re bothering people.” That can be frustrating for everyone involved, Rapp said.
