Synopsis
It is quite normal for people to become more forgetful as they grow older. The question at the heart of this book is how people can cope most positively with memory loss. Topics discussed include how memory works, and how factors like hearing loss, stress, fatigue, and drugs affect memory; what is part of normal memory change over the years and what is not; and how people can manage the changes. Upfront about problems and common fears, and illustrated with the warmth and humor of real-life cases, this is a sympathetic guide for those experiencing memory loss, for those who care for them, and for the community that wants to be kinder to its increasingly aging population.
