"Wendy Williams' Battle with Frontotemporal Dementia and Aphasia"

Former talk show host Wendy Williams has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia, conditions that have already presented significant hurdles in her life. Her medical team decided to share her diagnoses with the public to correct inaccurate rumors about her health. Despite the diagnoses, Williams is still able to do many things for herself and maintains her sense of humor. Frontotemporal dementia affects behavior and cognitive functions, while aphasia affects language and communication abilities. Up to 60,000 people in the United States have been diagnosed with FTD, and there are currently no disease-modifying treatments, but there are promising therapeutic candidates in clinical trials.
