Bruce's family revealed his FTD diagnosis in February 2023, releasing a group statement that read, "Bruce has always found joy in life — and has helped everyone he knows to do the same." Other symptoms can include loss of motor skills — problems walking, swallowing or muscle spasms. Symptoms tend to get worse over time. Patients typically begin to notice symptoms between 40 - 65 years of age, but it can affect people who are younger. It is the most common form of dementiaon Instagram hoping to set the record straight on how misguided media coverage of neurocognitive diseases can affect families — including her own.
“There is grief and sadness. There’s all of that. But you start a new chapter,” Emma said at the time, adding that the new chapter is filled “with love, it’s filled with connection, it’s filled with joy, it’s filled with happiness." "I’ve been able to lean in on this new community I find myself in, so giving back to people who are on this journey as care partners has been super meaningful," she shared. "Community is everything."Rosanna Arquette Says Bruce Willis Has a Strong Support System: 'One Big Tribe of Loveliness'
