“Currently, there are no cures for the disease, and we believe this may change in the coming years,” they said in a message shared online. “As Bruce’s condition progresses, we hope the media will focus on shedding light on this disease that needs more awareness and research.”

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, frontotemporal dementia “refers to a group of disorders caused by the progressive loss of nerve cells in the brain’s frontal lobes (the areas behind the forehead) or its temporal lobes.” These areas of the brain are usually associated with personality, behavior and language.
