Mayo Clinic on Alzheimer`s Disease and Other Dementias: A Guide for People with Dementia and Those Who Care for Them, Graff-Radford Jonathon, Lunde Angela M.

Traditionally, very little has been known about Alzheimers disease and other types of dementias. But recent advances in medical research shine a light on information previously unknown about these debilitating diseases.

In the seventh edition of Mayo Clinic on Alzheimers Disease and Other Dementias, expert neurologists from the Mayo Clinic organize this new research into a thorough and digestible guidebook that provides caregivers with the most up-to-date information regarding the disease. The book presents a comprehensive look at the typical symptoms associated with dementia, current findings regarding common causes of the disease, and gives essential tips for managing the day-to-day challenges of caring for someone with dementia.

While Alzheimers disease is the most well-known type of dementia, Mayo Clinic on Alzheimers Disease and Other Dementias also touches on other types of dementia--like Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal degeneration, and vascular cognitive impairment--and how these conditions are frequently developed.
