Dementia and related diseases are likely to affect at least 4 in 100 75-79 year olds in the developed world over the coming years. As we are faced with an ever growing older population it is therefore crucial that we have a better understanding of how to treat people suffering with this disease. This engaging and accessible book provides extensive information on the different and varied types of dementia as well as memory problems including those associated with dementias. It includes comprehensive coverage of how to alleviate memory problems and discussion on topical issues such as ageism. For the student reader, there are descriptions and discussions of topics as well as practical step-by-step guidance. There are helpful tests at the back of the book to aid learning as well as a comprehensive list of useful addresses/journals/magazines. The book will be an invaluable resource for the trained health care and medical professional and undergraduate students.
