His health condition after the diagnosis of aphasia “deteriorated” and it has now been established that he suffers from frontotemporal dementia in particular.
THE Bruce Willis was diagnosed with dementia as his family announced with an extensive post on Instagram.
As he described his health condition after the diagnosis of aphasia “has worsened” and it has now been established that he suffers from dementia in particular.
Check out this Instagram post.
In fact, he has problems with his speech.
67-year-old Bruce Willis was more specifically diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FrontoTemporal Dementia), which causes brain disorders affecting his ability to speak and communicate.
According to a statement signed by his children, his wife Emma Heming and his ex-wife Demi Moore, which was released to The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration, the family expresses its deepest gratitude for the world’s outpouring of love, support and support in margin of the struggle given by the iconic actor.
“Our family would like to say first that they are deeply grateful for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce’s initial diagnosis.
In the spirit of this, we wanted to update you on our beloved husband, father and friend as we now have a deeper understanding of what he is going through. Since we announced that he was diagnosed with aphasia in the spring of 2022, Bruce’s condition has worsened and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).
Unfortunately, he has trouble communicating and this is just one symptom of Bruce’s illness. Although this is painful, it is also a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.
FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and it can strike anyone. For people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because diagnosis can take years, FTD is likely much more common than we know.
Currently there are no cures for the disease, which hopefully can change in the coming years. As Bruce’s condition progresses, we hope that media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs much more awareness and research».
