New book about Alzheimer's Disease offers ways to avoid developing and maintain the highest quality of life with Alzheimer's disease
Neurologist Colin Iosso, M.D. and coauthor Patricia McMullin highlight current research, confront the stigma, provide hope and discuss treatment methods in "Alzheimer's Disease Before and After the Diagnosis"
- (1888PressRelease) September 28, 2012 - Dallas- A neurologist for over 20 years, Colin Iosso, M.D. and patient advocate Patricia McMullin, have worked with numerous individuals living with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Their new guide, "Alzheimer's Disease Before and After the Diagnosis" (ISBN 0615657028), not only educates readers about the neurological disorder, but it also shows readers how to maintain the highest quality of life, avoid common pitfalls, and offers methods to improve life despite their deteriorating mental state.
"Alzheimer's Disease Before and After the Diagnosis" highlights the warning signs and factors associated with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. As an experienced neurologist, Dr. Iosso and coauthor Patricia McMullin walk individuals through the diagnostic process, and they take this opportunity to address the readers' concern of what to expect when they are diagnosed. Once an individual is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, a brand new and very confusing world is open to them, and they need a place to turn for answers.
The guide combines current research and what is already known about the brain to show readers how to slow mental decline or, if the reader is in the early stages, how to maintain a healthy brain. "Alzheimer's Disease Before and After the Diagnosis" discusses the most up-to-date treatments, what currently lacks when it comes to treatment and other ways to interfere with mental deterioration.
"The work differs from other guides and approaches because it takes a compassionate look at what those living with this disorder are facing and offers ways to change their lives for the better," says coauthor McMullin. "'Alzheimer's Disease Before and After the Diagnosis' can serve as a complete guide for those living with the disease as well as their family, friends and caregivers. It provides a closer look at the person."
This complete guide offers those living with this disease, as well as their families and friends, up-to-date information on every aspect of life with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The author and board-certified neurologist hopes "Alzheimer's Disease Before and After the Diagnosis" eases some of the pain of living with the disease and offers hope to those struggling to find answers.
"Alzheimer's Disease Before and After the Diagnosis" is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
