This solution-focused book, authored by leading experts from the UK, Canada, Norway and the Netherlands, delves into the many areas of life affected by dementia.
When dementia occurs under 65 there are unique challenges and the impact on life is very different from diagnosis at a later age. The authors synthesise research to provide practical advice and information on living well, as well as the types of support available to those living with young onset dementia and their families. Young Onset Dementia Reconsidered is accessibly written and split into three sections to reflect key outcomes important to people living with young onset dementia: to maintain control over their own lives, to retain a sense of identity and to feel connected with others.
Jointly edited by one person living with young onset dementia and one clinical-academic with long experience of working in services, teaching and researching, Young Onset Dementia Reconsidered is a book for all those with an interest in dementia: students, practitioners, professionals, researchers, carers, family, friends and people with diagnosed or possible young onset dementia.
