Demenz. Nicht Jetzt!

Dementia diagnosis? Act now! Early recognition and prompt action are the most important prerequisites. The renowned dementia expert Professor Dr. Klaus Fliessbach provides clear guidance on how to handle the diagnosis. He offers tools to counteract the loss of cognitive abilities and delay the progression of the disease. Additionally, he demonstrates which medications and, importantly, which non-pharmacological therapies can be beneficial.

Shape everyday life with dementia in a self-determined way and maintain quality of life: From memory training to new therapeutic approaches and creative activities, there are numerous options to preserve cognitive performance and manage daily life independently for as long as possible. The guide shows how you can implement these options at home and integrate them into your daily routine without overwhelming those affected by dementia.

Relief for the primary caregiver: The ongoing changes and sometimes difficult-to-understand behavior of individuals with dementia can overwhelm caregivers and strain their relationship with the affected person. The book explains how a primary caregiver can realign life within the tension between responsibility, affection, grief, and overwhelm, providing concrete recommendations for action and encouraging the acceptance of relieving professional support.

This book is encouraging because with the right knowledge and actions, you can make a significant difference.
