Katrina Hellman and her husband, Darren, who has FTD, were the subjects of an artículo publicado en el Pantagraph on April 7. Darren, just 51 years old, began showing symptoms of FTD as early as 2010; he frequently forgets words, ignores social cues and no longer understands humor. Dr. Tom Ala, Darren’s neurologist, points out that FTD is “not a new disease but people are becoming more aware of it.” Dr. Ala adds that Darren’s case seems atypically mild, and that “he has many good years ahead of him.” Katrina is the leader of an AFTD-affiliated grupo de apoyo that meets monthly in Tremont, Illinois.
