Dementia affects more than 700,000 people in the UK; Alzheimer's is
the most common cause of dementia, affecting around 417,000 people
in the UK and some four million in the USA. While dementia affects
mostly older people, some 17,000 young people also have dementia in
the UK. There are treatments, but no cure. Caring for people with
dementia is a well-recognized burden, but recently there have been
moves to represent this in a more positive light, emphasising
people with dementia as individuals who deserve respect, rather
than as the challenge as which they have traditionally been viewed.
Nevertheless, for individual carers without enough support, having
a loved one with dementia often remains challenging. This book
looks at practicalities and relationships, including: Defining
Alzheimer's and other dementias; Diagnosis; After diagnosis;
planning for the future; Medications to help with symptoms such as
memory problems, wandering, and aggressive behavior; Other
therapies such as music therapy; Practicalities: coping with
strange behaviour, confusion, memory problems. Outside help and
services and how to access them; Later stages of dementia; issues
to consider such as residential care, financial arrangements, wills
and living wills and coping with being a carer.
