About this book

 

Dementia is more than an illness, but there is hope …

 

Every 100 seconds, one person in Germany develops dementia. Currently, around 1.7 million people live with Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia. If you or one of your close relatives is among the patients, you know: With the disease there are good and bad days, and family members are at least as affected as the patients themselves.

You have probably already come into contact with doctors and experts over time who assure you that the disease will progress relentlessly. Have you wondered whether this is actually true? What ways there are to live a fulfilling life despite dementia? Because there are indeed simple measures that help slow the progression of the disease and its typical symptoms such as forgetfulness, speech disorders, irritable moods, or depressive states.

To implement the necessary recommendations, you do not need any medical training. Instead, you will find in an empathetic, medical guide with moving personal accounts from those affected all the answers you are looking for!
