With more people in the world living into older age, Alzheimer's and other        Dementias: The Facts takes a comprehensive look at the spread of dementia, and        provides authoritative information and practical advice for sufferers, their        families, and the medical professionals who care for them.Written by a consultant in        old age psychiatry, the book provides an overview of all the different types of        dementia (including younger-onset dementias), from the most-recognized - Alzheimer's        - to the less-frequent types, such as those caused by inherited metabolic disorders        or HIV. The book guides the reader step-by-step through how the brain works, and        explains in clear and simple language the effect of dementias on the brain, and the        impact on an individual's cognitive function.A dedicated chapter explains how a        diagnosis is reached, including the different modes of assessment, from blood tests        carried out by a GP, to specialist scans, highlighting how the brain actually works.          Detailed sections cover the latest treatments available, including the controversial        use of antipsychotic medication, and the possibility of disease-modifying treatments        in the future.The book also explains how the multi-disciplinary team works together        to look after the sufferer's social needs, such as bathing and washing, as well as        their spiritual and palliative needs. Alzheimer's and other Dementias: The Facts        provides all the relevant information and guidance for sufferers, family and their        care-givers to choose the right intervention at the right time, to create - as the        book advocates - a unique and personalized management plan.
