Poirier, Judes 1961- (Author). Gauthier, Serge, 1950- (Added Author). Sandilands, Barbara, (Added Author).

Summary: "Alzheimer's disease is a reality in millions of lives, and a serious concern for seniors and their loved ones. In developed countries where people are living longer than ever before, the incidence of Alzheimer's is reaching epidemic proportions, according to the World Health Organization. For families, sufferers, and caregivers, the need for reliable, clear, and concrete information has never been greater. Alzheimer's Disease: The Complete Introduction, is a comprehensive guide to the disease and its effects: getting a diagnosis, the ways it can progress and be managed, strategies for supporting sufferers and accessing care, legal concerns, and more. This guide addresses every aspect of the disease from the first doctor's visit to the long-term measures that can drastically improve the lives of sufferers and those close to them."
