Some subtypes of frontotemporal dementia cause language problems, or impairment or loss of speech. Primary progressive aphasia, semantic dementia, and progressive agrammatic (non-fluent) aphasia are considered frontotemporal dementia.
Problems caused by these conditions include:
- Increasing difficulty using and understanding written and spoken language, such as having trouble finding the correct word to use in speech or to name objects.
- Difficulty naming things, possibly replacing a specific word with a more general word, such as “it” instead of “pen.”
- No longer knowing the meaning of words.
- Have halting speech that may sound telegraphic.
- Make mistakes in the construction of sentences.
