Working with the needs of patients with Alzheimer's disease can be a major challenge for primary care physicians, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals. Alzheimer's wreaks havoc on the patient, and its degenerative nature can create a protracted period of anguish and anxiety for the patient's family. Now in its third edition, "Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias" uses concise and clear language to outline the symptoms, effects, and treatments used to combat the progress of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias likely to be suffered by other patients. Enriched by case studies from his own clinical practice, Dr. Marc Agronin creates a volume full of humanity, insight, and knowledge that is sure to inform and improve the habits and methods of any clinician who deals with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. -- From publisher's description.
