New book by Independent Age Trustee explains dementia


Dr. Nori Graham, Independent Age Trustee, is an expert in Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and the psychiatry of old age. She has co-written the new book, Understanding Alzheimer's Disease & Other Dementias. The book is a straightforward, plain English guide for people who may have dementia and their families and carers, and it explains these diseases while putting to rest much of the misinformation and myth surrounding them.

You can read a sample chapter or order the book from the Family Doctor UK website.
