About this title

Synopsis

Describes the symptoms and treatment of many common ailments that can affect the elderly, and explains what symptoms should be brought to the attention of a physician

From Library Journal

This book encourages older adults to learn the basics about a variety of neurological conditions, and their distinguishing characteristics and symptoms, to be able to tell if what they are feeling is more than merely a sign of aging. There are 16 sections covering, among others, Bell's palsy, myasthenia gravis, facial pain, alcoholism, and Alzheimer's disease. A symptom index allows the reader to quickly locate discussions of specific symptoms. The intent is not self-diagnosis; rather it is to help the person judge the point at which it is necessary to consult a physician. More plusses: large typeface, understandable vocabulary, and glossary. Recommended for public libraries.Carol Spielman Lezak, General Learning Corp., Highland Park, Ill.
