How To Prevent Dementia: Understanding And Managing Cognitive Decline

A comprehensive review from bestselling author and renowned authority Dr. Richard Restak! How to Prevent Dementia supports the idea that the more one knows about Alzheimer’s and the other dementias, the easier it is to prevent or delay the illness. Increased knowledge also helps people understand and interact with those less fortunate people who come down with Alzheimer’s. The first part of the book answers the basic question “What is thinking?” It covers the thinking of normal everyday people and progresses to people with thinking disorders. The second principle of the book holds that Alzheimer’s exists along a continuum starting with perfectly normal performance and leading up to the extremes of mental dysfunction. As can be gleaned from recent reports, we now seem to be on the cusp of coming up with a medication or medications that can cure Alzheimer's. In this book, Dr. Restak explains how and why these new treatments are likely to work. At the end of the book, the reader will understand what steps to take to avoid or lessen the odds of getting Alzheimer’s and will become familiar enough with the disease to fully grasp and take advantage of the new medications that will soon be available.
