"Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are an epidemic that affect people from all walks of life around the world. Given that there is no cure or highly effective treatment for ADRD, it is a problem that isn't going away any time soon. ADRD is set to be a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in the 21st century. Worldwide 44 million people live with ADRD, and this figure is expected to reach 135 million by 2050 (ADI, 2013). Due to these projections and growing concern around ADRD, there has been increased attention around building a workforce with the skills to provide high quality care to those with ADRD. Comprehensive care for people living with ADRD will require coordinated health and social care systems with a well-trained workforce. The diverse workforce includes health care and medical providers such as physicians; nurses; psychologists; and pharmacists as well as direct care workers; home health aides and certified nursing assistants. It also includes non-medical professionals such as health educators; social workers; gerontologists; allied health professionals like physical, speech, or occupational therapists; case managers; long term care administrators; elder law attorneys, art and music therapists, and more. In fact, we believe the best treatment for those with ADRD is always a multidisciplinary approach to care. Each profession, each individual, plays a critical role in the care continuum including: pre-diagnosis; diagnosis; post-diagnostic support; coordination and care management; community services; continuing care; and end-of-life palliative care. The continuity of care between different care providers, multiple sectors and system levels and active collaboration between professional and family caregivers is crucial. Those at the forefront of care for those with ADRD need to be adequately informed and trained to respond to the complex needs of people with ADRD as well as to communicate and work effectively with professionals outside of their own profession"--

Dementia diseases are the most common cause of severe mental deterioration in the world today, and expected changes in the population structure will inevitably result in a gradually increasing occurrence of dementia. One of the primary symptoms of dementia diseases is severe memory dysfunction. Knowledge about the ways in which dementia diseases affect memory increases our knowledge about the relationship between brain structures and memory functions, is imperative for early clinical diagnosis, and forms a basis for sound behavioral and pharmacological intervention. While the memory impairment in dementia has been known for more than 2000 years, the nature of this impairment is not yet completely understood. Research in this area has not, until quite recently, utilized theoretical and methodological advances from basic cognitive psychology. This volume gives a comprehensive treatment of this new and increasingly developing field of inquiry.

The Harvard-trained neuroscientist presents an exploration of the intricacies of human memory that distinguishes between normal and concerning memory loss while explaining the profound roles of sleep, stress, and other contributing influences. "Have you ever felt a crushing wave of panic when you can't for the life of you remember the name of that actor in the movie you saw last week, or you walk into a room only to forget why you went there in the first place? If you're over forty, you're probably not laughing. You might even be worried that these lapses in memory could be an early sign of Alzheimer's or dementia. In reality, for the vast majority of us, these examples of forgetting are completely normal. Why? Because while memory is amazing, it is far from perfect. Our brains aren't designed to remember every name we hear, plan we make, or day we experience. Just because your memory sometimes fails doesn't mean it's broken or succumbing to disease. Forgetting is actually part of being human. In Remember, neuroscientist and acclaimed novelist Lisa Genova delves into how memories are made and how we retrieve them. You'll learn whether forgotten memories are temporarily inaccessible or erased forever and why some memories are built to exist for only a few seconds (like a passcode) while others can last a lifetime (your wedding day). You'll come to appreciate the clear distinction between normal forgetting (where you parked your car) and forgetting due to Alzheimer's (that you own a car). And you'll see how memory is profoundly impacted by meaning, emotion, sleep, stress, and context. Once you understand the language of memory and how it functions, its incredible strengths and maddening weaknesses, its natural vulnerabilities and potential superpowers, you can both vastly improve your ability to remember and feel less rattled when you inevitably forget. You can set educated expectations for your memory, and in doing so, create a better relationship with it. You don't have to fear it anymore. And that can be life-changing."-- Provided by publisher.
