Wendy Williams diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia

[Cqleb]

Wendy’s care team have revealed that she's been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. A press release from Feb. 22, 2024 confirmed that “after undergoing a battery of medical tests,” Wendy was diagnosed with both conditions in 2023.

“Over the past few years, questions have been raised at times about Wendy’s ability to process information and many have speculated about Wendy’s condition, particularly when she began to lose words, act erratically at times, and have difficulty understanding financial transactions,”

“Unfortunately, many individuals diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia face stigma and misunderstanding, particularly when they begin to exhibit behavioral changes but have not yet received a diagnosis,”

So sad! The aphasia is a type of frontotemporal dementia. Bruce Willis is another person with this diagnosis.

The difference is Wendy is at that age when people start developing dementia, and I know people with dementia and she is acting very similarly to those I know with it in the early stages, Britney didn't act that way at all for the dementia diagnosis to be true.

Dementia was my first thought when she started exhibiting that behavior, it's kind of obvious that it's dementia.

It’s not hard to see something is seriously wrong with her from her new doc trailer, so yes in this case I do believe she has dementia.

Heartbreaking news, that poor woman. Neurodegenerative diseases are among the most cruel.

Yes  usually takes 6-8 years from symptoms when you die of dementia like this
