Dementia

Dementia comes in many forms that can be hard to differentiate. Arriving at an accurate diagnosis without subjecting an already wary patient to unnecessary tests requires clinical acumen. Identifying the correct dementia, and determining a probable prognosis, allows agreement on appropriate management and care with patients and their carers. This book provides a progressive approach to help you identify and manage the many forms of dementia. It clearly explains the diagnosis, investigations and management for: normal pressure hydrocephalus; mild cognitive impairment; Alzheimer's disease; vascular dementia; dementia with Lewy bodies; and fronto-temporal dementia.
