There are over one million people in the UK alone suffering from some form of dementia. Cures for dementia are still a long way off, but if diagnosed early enough there are treatments available which delay the onset of the disease and provide a better quality of life. The key to treatment is early diagnosis, and it is here that GPs and family care practitioners need help. This book, written by a neurologist and a psychiatrist in the Q and A format of the series, covers all types of dementia, including Alzheimer's Disease, and will help GPs and other family care practitioners provide early diagnosis and treatment to the millions of patients suffering from dementia. It also includes useful information on services and sources of further help for dementia sufferers and their carers.
