This book provides a comprehensive overview of Alzheimer's disease,
including information on the affliction's history, diagnosis, and
effects on family members. Alzheimer's disease is a vastly
underrecognized disease that primarily appears in patients age 65
and older. It affects the entire family of those afflicted and has
a tremendous impact on our health care system-the Alzheimer's
Association estimates the cost of treating this form of dementia at
$172 billion annually in the United States. Current treatment with
medications has only limited success. Therefore, awareness of
symptoms-which are often mistaken for aging or stress-and early
recognition of the disease are the best ways to help patients and
their caregivers. Alzheimer's Disease is written to provide a broad
overview of the disease, conveying all information and concepts in
easy-to-read and understandable language. This text is intended for
high school and college students, but is appropriate for general
reading audiences as well. Includes case examples and firsthand
family descriptions of the disease's effects to clearly illustrate
the impact on sufferers and their loved ones The glossary lists key
terms used in discussing Alzheimer's disease
