Forgetting How to Remember: Alzheimer's disease: a modern plague with staggering implications for human mental health

By Dr Vincent T. Marchesi

Alzheimer's dementia is an emerging epidemic that affects the mental health of aging people throughout the world. Although there are many forms of dementia, Alzheimer's disease is widely considered the most feared disease in adult populations and is predicted to bankrupt the health care system of the United States unless suitable treatments or preventive measures are discovered.Claims of unrealistic treatments and doomsday predictions dominate the popular media and present a misleading picture of what is known about this disease. Brain damage leading to dementia is due to many causes and explains why effective treatments have yet to be developed. Fortunately preventive measures have been discovered that have already contributed to a significant decrease in the incidence of the disease. This book, written from the point of view of both a caretaker and an active scientist, explains what has been discovered during the last two decades and describes paths to preventive measures that are now available or are under development.
