Best practical information for caretakers,
This review is from: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About(TM) Alzheimer's Disease: The Complete Guide to Preventing, Treating, and Coping with Memory Loss (Paperback)
I have been a caretaker for my spouse who has had dementia for 3 years. I have read many books and this is definitely the best. It is clearly written. It does not scream directions and diagnosis at you from but has a practical and compassionate tone that allows me to read without becoming stressed. It gives symptoms that I have seen first hand but hadn't read about in any other source. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About(TM) Alzheimer's Disease: The Complete Guide to Preventing, Treating, and Coping with Memory Loss (Paperback)
I'm trained as a counselor specializing in elder care, so I read a lot of books about different mental and physical problems that effect older people. This book is one of the best for its positive approach, concrete, simple suggestions and thorough treatment of the subject of this disease doctors still don't really understand.
Recently I ordered a copy for my aunt who suffers from Alzheimer's Disease. Since she lives alone, she doesn't remember receiving the copy or where it is. So, thanks to Amazon and the ease of ordering, I ordered her two more copies! She's looking forward to receiving one at least. I think this book is now out of print as I've been ordering used copies. Too bad. The only thing about this book that needs updating might be the medications now being used or the newest research. Otherwise, this book is the best for the person who suffers from this disease and all of the effected care givers.
5.0 out of 5 stars

I originally took this book out of the library but quickly decided that it was one I wanted to own. The book is honest and informative and I was even blessed enough to get an e-mail answer from the author when I had a question. As much as I pray for a cure, this guide has proved very helpful to me.
