Alzheimers
Former president Ronald Reagan`s disclosure of his Alzheimer`s disease has helped show the country that Alzheimer`s is nothing to be ashamed of and getting it is no one`s fault. Alzheimer`s is a common condition that currently afflicts 4 million Americans and touches another 20 million family members who care for them. From the point of view of someone who`s been there, Alzheimer`s: Finding the Words shows family members how the disease affects speech -- and how to communicate with a faltering mind. This helpful communication guide also includes a short-term memory questionnaire, the latest research findings, and insightful interviews with physicians, caregivers, family members, and patients.
