This is the human experience of dementing illness, and it is at the heart of this practical, informative volume by a broad range of clinically grounded experts.
The giant strides in dementia research since the publication of the first edition in 1991 have generated optimism that we will soon be able to delay onset and even prevent these diseases that devastate both patient and caregiver. This third edition has been revised, updated, and expanded to cover changes in the classification, management, and treatment of dementing illness. It includes a world-class presentation on the molecular and genetic basis of Alzheimer's disease; a beautifully illustrated chapter on neuroimaging, and discussions of mild cognitive impairment, the frontotemporal dementias, and the dementias associated with Lewy bodies.
Chapters on psychological/behavioral and drug management indicate practical approaches
