auditory processing. all those can lead you to a higher risk depression after a stroke. it s remarkable to see. i was in washington for 8 1/2 years. so many politicians down play or don t tell the full truth about h their health. this really stands out to me. i also want to ask you about, we love so much, his family came out and we were talking about this for a year now. his family said he has been diagnosed with ftd. what do we know about that? is that different than the dementia we know about? so when people think about dementia, people think about alzheimer s. this is a much rarer type of dementia but the most common in people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. it strikes much earlier than the dementia that most people think b it has to do with degeneration in the frontal part of the brain and by the ears. the other thing that is important to realize about
