What to Remember When You Are Forgetting (inbunden, eng)

Media darling and director of Memory and Healthy Aging at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Dr. Zaldy Tans What to Remember When You Are Forgetting shares the definitive guide to thriving with dementia for the recently diagnosed and their caregivers.

What if a dementia diagnosis could be an invitation to live? What if the first phase of the disease could be a catalyst to embrace a long-forgotten dream? Or to finally resolve a festering family conflict? Or to make new friends and create new, cherished memories?

Renowned memory and Alzheimers disease specialist, researcher, educator, and author Dr.

Zaldy Tan, the Harvard-trained director of the Cedars-Sinai Memory and Healthy Aging Program, shares the definitive guide to thriving with dementia.

On these pages, youll meet patients like Angela, who had worked as a singer in a Hollywood lounge before her children were born and dreamed of stardom.

Instead, Angela put her dreams aside to raise her family. But after her diagnosis of early-onset dementia, instead of shutting down or continuing to prioritize others over herself, Angela embraced her career anew and traveled the country performing with a local singing group.

Youll also meet Marcel, who considered Alzheimers as a wake-up call to recalibrate his life priorities, and Mary-Louise, who didnt have family nearby to rely on but found an advocate in a new friend she met in a writing group.

With an incredibly thorough and deeply comforting approach, Dr.

Tan tackles everything from how to have a conversation with a person experiencing early memory loss, to how to prepare for an initial assessment for Alzheimers, and what accommodations and interventions are needed for every stage and type of dementia. He delves into the surprisingly hopeful research on new treatment and caregiving resources everyone should know, and reveals how other families and remarkable individuals hes treated over the years have handled both difficult challenges and incredible triumphs after diagnosis.
