Summary

Whether it's Alzheimer's or brain damage, dementia comes in many shapes, and each form is as devastating as the next – not just for the sufferer, but for their loved ones too. In this brand-new title, learn about what dementia is and how to spot the signs, from outbursts to unexpected personality changes, and find out how to care for loved ones living with this cruel disease. We'll share expert advice on how to maintain independence for as long as possible, and when to bring in reinforcements. We'll also explore the psychological burden on carers, from losing someone you love without the physical loss, and how to handle being forgotten.
