Overview

This publication helps to alleviate the mental anguish associated with looking after patients with dementia. The term 'dementia' describes a group of symptoms that are caused by changes in brain function. These symptoms affect thinking, learning and memory abilities. Alzheimer's disease and related dementias exact a massive toll in health care costs, disability and productivity of both patients and family caregivers. Caregivers will find this book particularly useful on a day-to-day basis. Families, friends and loved ones of patients will have a better understanding of conditions arising from dementia and the resources outlined in the book should enable them to make informed decisions. 'Understanding And Managing Dementia' has been highly commended in the healthcare for the elderly category of the 2005 BMA medical book competition.
