All the indications pointed that direction,
but it wasn't until the PET scan was complete that we could be sure.
- No more memory tests? - Just the opposite.
Mental exercises are shown to be effective...
All right, what is it? Eight years and I'm dead?
Mr. Ruchowski, this is not Alzheimer's.
For many years, frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's were confused,
but frontotemporal dementia is a separate disease.
It's better?
FTD is much more aggressive.
Much more? How much more?
- Did anyone come with you today? - No.
Family is very important in a situation like this.
I don't have any brothers or sisters. No children.
My work is my family.
This frontal... FTD, is there anything I should be on the lookout for?
You will be subject to overreactions or inappropriate reactions,
blank spells. Perhaps you've noticed this already.
Mood swings, unreliable sensory perception.
"Unreliable sensory perception."
That's what it's called.
There are support groups, social services here in Philadelphia...
in fact, wherever you go.
I've spoken with Dr. Gross, Nathan Gross, in the Special Care wing.
Now after we're finished, you'll pay him a visit.
He's expecting you.
There's no reason to be alone in this.
So what is prescribed?
Usually serotonin inhibitors...
Zoloft, Paxil... or antidepressants.
But those are drugs for crazy people,
manic-depressives. That's not me.
Okay, let's get that clear. That's not who I am.
Look, these medications address the behavioral symptoms.
- Not the disease? - That's correct.
