Reassurance for Sufferers And Carers.

This book addresses the need for information for people involved with the early stages of dementia - starting with the first thoughts that something may be wrong, through to diagnosis and dealing with the transitions through changes of lifestyle.

The book moves beyond the clinical aspects of the disease and into the hearts and minds of the people affected. It addresses the issues around diagnosis and what follows. It explains what dementia is and how people experience it. It examines in detail what can happen, and what positive steps can be taken in the first five years following diagnosis - drawing upon the experiences of those with the disease and their carers.

This book also provides practical information that explains what a diagnosis entails, the available treatments and where to go for help. It provides reassurance for those who find that they or someone close to them has a memory problem or have been diagnosed with Early Stage Dementia, by demystifying the experience and mapping out an approach that is accessible and realistic to both the sufferers, their families and their carers.

Receiving a diagnosis of dementia can be a shattering experience but irrespective of the cause, appropriate, competent and knowledgeable management will enhance the lives of those affected. This book will provide not only comfort and insight but most of all hope - for those concerned about memory loss; those diagnosed with Early Stage Dementia; and for family, loved-ones and carers.
