Providing dementia care is profoundly stressful for families and caregivers. People with dementia or Alzheimer’s experience emotional distress, which leads to behavioral complications and the need for institutional care. However, if families and caregivers are able to identify the emotional needs caused by dementia and understand which skills are lost and which remain, they can lower the behavioral complications and their own stress.

The book is for caregivers, family members, friends, and neighbors, as well as educators and professionals - anyone touched by the epidemic of dementia. Dr. Boss helps caregivers find hope in "ambiguous loss" - having a loved one both here and not here, physically present but psychologically absent.

In this paradigm shifting book, Dale Bredesen, MD, offers real hope to anyone looking to prevent and even reverse Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline. Revealing that AD is not one condition, as it is currently treated, but three, The End of Alzheimer's outlines 36 metabolic factors (micronutrients, hormone levels, sleep) that can trigger "downsizing" in the brain. The protocol shows us how to rebalance these factors using lifestyle modifications like taking B12, eliminating gluten, or improving oral hygiene.

A wealth of information and a lot to digest if you have a loved one going through this disease. This audiobook need to come with a PDF workbook of all the prominent information you need. I am buying the kindle version as a refresher and reference guide. Blessings to everyone who goes through this and to the caretaker who had to endure this journey. One Love.

Awesome Book
I would recommend skipping the first chapter. It's like a fast forward from the beginning of the disease to the very end. It's quite overwhelming and frightening. It put me in a panic mode. In reality, AD (or probably any type of dementia) doesn't progress that rapidly.
