Almost a million people are currently living with dementia in the UK alone, and this figure is set to triple by 2050. As it stands, those providing care are mostly family members, so sharing the latest information on dementia and a toolkit for carers is essential.
Still Me, by top neuroscientist and bestselling author Dr Sabina Brennan, brings a fresh approach to the topic. There is no getting away from the fact that this is a tough hand to be dealt, but she presents the job of caring for someone with dementia as a partnership, where both parties deserve respect, care, the latest information and practical brain-enhancing advice.
With her unique perspective as a neuroscientist involved with many dementia charities, and with experience of caring for her own mother who had dementia, the book provides:
- A clarification on the different types of dementia.
- A human-rights approach that validates everyone's experience and dignity.
- Fun brain-boosting activities to stimulate cognitive function and rehabilitation.
- New information on the trajectory of the disease and the latest non-pharmaceutical interventions.
- Evidence-based techniques usually only available to specially trained health-care professionals.
- A self-care plan for carers, including lifestyle suggestions and ways to optimise the caregiving experience.
Still Me allows you to see that the person you love is still there and deserves respect, that each day can contain moments of joy, and that as a carer, you are just as important.
