Caring for people with frontotemporal dementia is hard, there are few facilities tailored for the younger sufferer and those are not always appropriate for people with frontotemporal dementia. Also there are no specific treatments yet for frontotemporal dementia. All this adds to the distress, isolation and burden of caring. The PDSG tries to decrease the burden by providing information and support.
The Pick's Disease Support Group includes:
1. Dementia with Lewy Bodies
2. Frontotemporal Dementia including:
Frontal Lobe Degeneration, Pick's Disease
and Primary Progressive Aphasia
3. Alchohol Related Dementia
4. Corticobasal Degeneration
The PDSG is under the umbrella of the National Hospital for neurology and Neorosurgery Development Foundation Registered Charity Number 290173
