Recommendation

If you’re getting older and find yourself being forgetful, do you worry that you could suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia? Neurologist Andrew E. Budson and neuropsychologist Maureen K. O’Connor, who have worked with many patients who have memory issues, offer a valuable resource for dealing with memory problems. They address the looming threat of Alzheimer’s – a primary focus in their manual. This reader-friendly guidebook also provides an excellent glossary explaining the terms in the book. While never giving medical advice, getAbstract recommends O’Connor and Budson’s guidance to people who worry about memory loss, to those who want to improve their ability to remember, as well as to friends and family members concerned about a loved one’s memory issues.
