| Annotation | Life after diagnosis with Alzheimer's disease (AD) does not have to be entirely bleak, but understanding what to expect is essential. With careful planning, an independent lifestyle can be maintained for as long as possible, and the burden on carers can be reduced. The book explains the symptoms that affect sufferers at different stages. Details of the drug treatments available are outlined, as are other ways of improving the quality of life and reducing confusion. The author also offers advice for carers, on how to care for themselves as well as for the patient. (RH). |
