This book on dementia, written by an author actually working in psychogeriatrics, offers a provocative account of dementia and presents practical guidelines for detection and treatment. Written in a readable style accessible even to the non-specialist, it covers both senile and pre-senile dementia, with emphasis on Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common type in both categories. Presents illustrated accounts of diagnostic methods which have become available only in the past few years, such as specialist EEG techniques and pictures of scan changes in the various types of dementia. This work offers a critical review of theories of causation of AD, and examines other types of dementia, and how they are diagnosed, treated, and prevented. Also describes the services available, both statutory and voluntary, and how they are best contacted and used.
