Five million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, with a new diagnosis being made every seventy-two seconds. Although experts agree that early diagnois and treatment are essential, families don't know where to turn for authoritative, state-of-the-art advice and answers to all of their questions. Now, combining the insights of a world-class physican and an award-winning social worker, this ground-breaking book tells you everything you need to know, including: the best tests to determine if this is-- or is not -- Alzheimer's disease, the most (and least) effective medical treatments, living well after diagnosis, gaining access to the latest clinical trials, and understanding the future of Alzheimer's.
