Everyone dreads the words “ Alzheimer ’ s disease ” and “ dementia. ” And everyone who plans to live beyond age sixty-five is at some risk. Dr. Tiffany Chow, a prominent clinician and neuroscientist, offers knowledge and hope about an illness where there is, as yet, no cure. Aimed at patients and their families, The Memory Clinic is a comprehensive and ultimately reassuring work about the prevention and management of dementia. Chow herself has a genetic legacy of Alzheimer ’ s disease, and she probes what she — and everyone else — can do to mitigate the impact of genetics through nutrition, exercise, and the concepts of cerebral reserve and brain plasticity. But it is in her front-line role managing the suffering caused by dementia and aiding caregivers where Chow ’ s compassionate voice is most inspiring. She emphasizes that both patients and caregivers need to feel safe, healthy, happy, and loved, and that meeting these basic needs daily takes skill at balancing life ’ s demands and is itself part of the protective shield against dementia ’ s effects. Dr. Chow has written an accessible and fascinating guide through the mysteries of the brain ’ s deterioration in dementia. And as an empathetic physician who sees the person behind the symptoms, she offers practical strategies and comfort to both the afflicted and their caregivers.

Over the last 20 years, memory clinics have evolved from an idea to an important part of many services for people with memory difficulties. With the higher profile of the dementias, and Alzheimer's disease in particular, they have finally come of age and those with dementia and their carers can start to receive the attention and resources they deserve. This short text is aimed at all health professionals who work in memory clinics, or are interested in learning about them. It covers all aspects of setting up and operating the clinics and encouraging professionals to providing even better clinics and improved services for patients.

There are both benefits and negative consequences of detecting a progressive memory illness, such as Alzheimer's Disease. As such, the current study indented to examine the experience of participating in a community-based memory clinic. Aims were to: 1) confirm the frequency of dementia worry ; 2) determine the relationship between anxiety levels and participating in the memory clinic; 3) determine whether subjective memory functioning predicted levels of anxiety and dementia worry prior to memory testing; 4) confirm the relationship among subjective memory functioning, anxiety, dementia worry, and actual memory performance, and;5) confirm whether levels of dementia worry had an impact on participants' inclinations to pursue lifestyle behaviour changes associated with healthy memory aging. Memory clinic participants (N= 88) completed self-report measures assessing: perceptions of memory ability, dementia worry, state anxiety, and lifestyle behaviours associated with healthy cognitive ageing. A frequency analysis determined that 20% of participants held moderate to high levels of dementia worry prior to memory testing. Variance analyses revealed that anxiety scores were lower in participants after memory testing, but only for those who held high anxiety scores prior to memory testing. Results suggested those with poor self-perceptions of memory ability tended to report higher levels of anxiety if they fell within the "possibly impaired range" of memory performance. Multivariate analyses of variance revealed that poor self-perceptions of memory ability predicted higher levels of state anxiety and dementia worry prior to memory testing. Lastly, logistic regression results did not support the hypothesis that poor subjective memory ability, high dementia worry, and state anxiety would predict a greater likelihood of exhibiting poor memory performance.

Organised services for those with memory disorders are growing. This growth is stimulated by an increase in the number of people with memory problems and by an increased appreciation of the complexity of the needs of such patients. Further growth is likely, especially now that we appear to have crossed the threshold of effective treatment for many patients with dementia. With these advances has come the recognition of the necessity for an interdisciplinary approach to management. Diagnosis and Management of Dementia: A Manual for Memory Disorders Teams is an edited volume covering all aspects of the operation of a memory disorders team. It is aimed at all those working in the dementia or memory disorders team, whether in a clinic or a community setting. The book is divided into three sections. Section one takes the reader through the practical details of setting up and organising a clinic, from timetabling, through managing information, to the assessments needed and the opportunities such a service provides. Section two deals with the diagnostic process; and section three addresses management issues, from carer support, pharmacological and physiological interventions, through managing common problems, to the role of the primary care physician. An Appendix contains the results of a survey to the memory disorder services. This survey provides the reader with examples of other services and demonstrates the wide variation in how these services operate. The Manual is unique in that it combines up to date thinking on diagnosis and management with practical and helpful ideas on how to run a dementia or memory disorders service.

Informs, reassures and gives practical guidance to people who worry they are losing their memory. Does your memory change as you get older? It's common to be concerned about memory lapses, but how do you know if memory difficulties are normal or the beginnings of something more serious? Can dementia be prevented? Memory-wise explains how memory works and the changes that can occur as we age. It explains the sort of health, attitude and lifestyle factors that can lead to fluctuation in memory and provides practical tips to minimise their effects. Based on current research, Memory-wise examines memory during menopause and includes easy-to-follow suggestions for maintaining brain health, along with strategies for supporting memory in early dementia. We can all become more confident in managing memory. Memory-wise will help you to understand and nurture the most precious of resources - your memory.

"Is your memory normal? To answer that question we need to start with a different question: What is normal memory? In Step 1 we will learn about the problems that are part of normal memory. One thing that makes memory loss tricky, however, is that the difference between normal and abnormal memory isn't necessarily the type of problems that occur but rather the frequency and severity of those problems. Nonetheless, in order for us to begin to help you know if your memory is normal or not, we need to first tell you about the memory errors that can happen to anyone of any age and then let you know what changes occur to memory as we get older"--

Adults are being increasingly diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and this book provides strategies for concerned individuals to help slow the onset of the condition. Around 50% of adults with MCI go on to develop dementia, but research shows that self-help through early intervention and preventative measures can hugely slow this down. The self-help measures in this book include memory aids, health and lifestyle changes, activities, therapies and technological aids. All of them are known to improve cognition and can be incorporated into daily life. Every measure is firmly based in current research, and this book is also applicable to those with early-stage dementia wishing to delay the onset of more severe cognitive impairment. Given the paramount importance of early intervention to prevent cognitive impairment worsening, this book is essential reading for any older individual wanting the best strategies to help with how to do this in practice.
