Speech and Language Symptoms: Individuals with Pick's disease may experience reduced speech output and nonfluent speech. There is a progressive decrease in expressive vocabulary, and they may have word-finding difficulties. Spontaneous conversation may be reduced, and echolalia (repetition of others' words) and meaningless repetition of phrases can occur.

Behavioral Changes: FTD is characterized by a wide range of behavioral changes, particularly in the frontal lobe variant. There may be executive dysfunction in the frontal variant, leading to difficulties in planning and decision-making. Personality changes and disregard for social conventions may be observed. Uninhibited behavior, including inappropriate social behavior, can also occur.

Emotional Symptoms: Emotional symptoms such as depression, irritability, and mood fluctuations may be present in individuals with Pick's disease.
