This resource for general readers in high school and up collects information on the causes, symptoms, and stages of Alzheimer disease (AD) and other dementias. Information is presented in an easy-to-read format, using many Q&A sections, bullet points, checklists, and warning signs. The book explains facts about the brain and cognitive decline and provides sections on recognizing, diagnosing, and treating symptoms of AD and other dementias; living with AD and dementia (including financial and legal issues); and caregiver concerns. Information has been excerpted from publications issued by the US government and from copyrighted documents from various organizations; full citation information is provided for each chapter. The final section of the book supplies a glossary and a directory of government and private agencies, advocacy organizations, caregiver and hospice information, and state AD centers.
