Bruce Willis’s health has deteriorated, the actor suffers from dementia

Bruce Willis’ disease has evolved

Almost a year ago (in March 2022), we learned about it Bruce Willis he was about to distance himself from cinema and acting. A decision made due to health problems. The comedian suffering from aphasia. As we explained to you at the time of him, aphasia has an impact on cognitive abilities. This disease can cause a loss of speech (partial or total). The important thing for Bruce Willis was therefore to focus on his health and enjoy his loved ones.

New elements about his health have been revealed by the family of Bruce Willis (in a press release on The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration). And unfortunately the news is not good. His disease has progressed and his doctors diagnosed him frontotemporal dementia.

What is frontotemporal dementia?

It is a neurodegenerative disease related to Alzheimer’s disease. Or a direct impact on behavior, attention span and memory. Her family say they are sad, but relieved to have a “clear diagnosis“.

Since we announced Bruce’s aphasia diagnosis in the spring of 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more accurate diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (called FTD). Unfortunately, the miscommunication is just one symptom of the illness Bruce is dealing with. While it’s painful, it’s a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.

Bruce Willis’ family hopes that, despite this sad news for them, it can help even in light of this disease which requires “greater awareness and research“. They are also calling to support the AFTD of “all possible ways“.

FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and it can affect anyone. (…) Today there is no cure for the disease, a reality that we hope will change in the years to come.
