WHAT TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU ARE FORGETTING

Here, Dr. Tan, the Harvard-trained director of the Cedars-Sinai Memory & Healthy Aging Program shares the definitive guide to thriving with dementia for the recently diagnosed and their caregivers.

From the renowned neurologist, geriatrician, researcher, educator, and author, this is the definitive guide to thriving with dementia with a format like the perennial bestseller What to Expect When You're Expecting. Both incredibly thorough and deeply comforting, Dr. Tan tackles everything from how to handle an initial assessment for Alzheimer's and whom should be present, what accommodations and treatments should be made for each stage and what surprisingly hopeful research on new treatment and coping modalities everyone should know; to how other families and remarkable individuals he's treated over the years have handled both difficult challenges and incredible triumphs after diagnosis.

What to Remember When You Are Forgetting will be the book that doctors recommend and people reach for, in search of both help and hope.
