The Alzheimer's Action Plan: What You Need to Know--and What You Can Do--about Memory Problems, from Prevention to Early Intervention and Care - Softcover
Synopsis
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 seventy-two seconds, with millions more at risk. Although experts agree that early diagnosis and treatment are essential, families don't know where to turn for authoritative, state-of-the-art advice and answers to all of their questions.
Now, combining the insights of a world-class physician and an award-winning social worker, this ground-breaking book tells you everything you need to know, including:
The best tests to determine if this is―or is not―Alzheimer's disease
The most (and least) effective medical treatments
Coping with the effects
Gaining access to the latest clinical trials
Understanding the future of Alzheimer's
Clear, compassionate, and empowering, The Alzheimer's Action Plan is a must-read.

Book Description
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'sClear, compassionate, and packed with information, The Alzheimer's Book sets a new standard for expert care.
