Description
The research around dementia treatment and prevention is growing -- there's never been a better time to equip yourself with knowledge so you know exactly how to navigate it.
The number of people living with dementia is expected to double every 20 years... and this means that there's not one of us who doesn't need to know a little more about it.
Each year, further advances in dementia research, detection, and treatment are made, but before you can understand any of them, you need to know exactly where science and medicine are at now and what you can do to protect your cognitive health.
Whether you're concerned about your own cognitive health, worried about someone in your family, or simply eager to understand more about one of the most prevalent health issues of our time, your first step is to understand how dementia works, how it can be managed, and what the latest research says about treating it.
From there, you can take steps to protect your health and arm yourself with strategies for navigating dementia if it ever makes its way into your life.
This much-needed guide to dementia steps away from the focus on caregiving and gets to the roots of the science behind dementia and where it fits into the medical world. It will give you everything you need to know to better understand this complex condition and take preventative measures to guard against it.
Inside, you'll discover:
• The different types of dementia, how to tell them apart, and how genetic factors determine your risk of getting it
