Tangled Minds

A leading specialist provides a compassionate, comprehensive, & up-to-date guide for coping with Alzheimer's Disease & other dementias. Alzheimer's has struck more than 4 million of the nation's elderly & is the most common form of mental degeneration. In Tangled Minds, Dr. Muriel R. Gillick convincingly demonstrates that confusion & loss of memory resulting from Alzheimer's, or in any form, is a disease known as dementia, & not an inevitable part of aging. Tangle Minds provides a comprehensive overview of dementia, its history, the politics of its fight for recognition, the research being done to discover its causes, & the treatments now being used to alleviate its symptoms. Weaving these details around the story of one Alzheimer's patient, Gillick provides both a human interest story & an analytical study. Clearly describing medical details while fully capturing the pain of dementia with compassionate insight, Tangled Minds is an invaluable resource for family, friends, caregivers, & professionals dealing with Alzheimer's & similar disorders.Gillick, Muriel R. is the author of 'Tangled Minds' with ISBN 9780452276475 and ISBN 0452276470.
