Product Description
by Daniel Kuhn (Author), David A. Bennett (Foreword by)
The third edition of Alzheimer's Early Stages offers new research findings, treatment approaches, and information on the three key areas of Alzheimer's disease: medical aspects, day-to-day care, and care for the caregiver. Daniel Kuhn seeks to replace fear with knowledge. With information on the progression of the disease, potential non-drug means of treatment, the changing world of the diagnosed individual, legal and financial planning, and maintaining physical and mental health for the caregiver, the book provides detailed guidance and advice while leaving room for adapting to the individual situation.
