The Alzheimer's Action Plan

What would you do if your mother was having memory problems? Five million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, with a new diagnosis being made every 72 seconds. Yet a survey of over 400 Alzheimer's specialists revealed that they would order more sophisticated tests and treatments for their loved ones than for the average patient. Indeed, according to Psychiatry News, "Few Alzheimer patients get state of the art care." Now this book from two leading experts gives the rest of us the inside track on: *The best tests to determine if this is--or is not--Alzheimer's disease *The most (and least) effective medical treatments *Coping with behavioral and emotional changes *Gaining access to the latest clinical trials *Understanding the future of Alzheimer's Clear, compassionate, and packed with information, The Alzheimer's Book sets a new standard for expert care.Doraiswamy, P.
