Dementia Fast facts Series - Softcover
Until about 1970 doctors knew little about Alzheimer's disease. Most physicians attributed dementia in old age to hardening of the arteries of the brain and reserved the term >Alzheimer's disease' for rare forms of presenile dementia. The past two decades have changed this. Now, more is known about the biology of Alzheimer's disease than about any other neuropsychiatric condition. Moreover, there is widespread public and professional awareness of dementia. This book sets out the basic facts about the causes, course and treatment of each clinical subtype of dementia, together with some additional information about brain ageing. The aim is to enable the reader to recognize dementia, organize appropriate investigation and management, and to indicate steps that may improve the long-term care of dementia patients or perhaps even prevent the disease. John C'S Breitner, MD, is Professor and Chair, Department of Mental Hygiene, at the The John Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland.
