Dementia by Soma Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

Life was going on in its normal rhythm. Suddenly, you noticed that a loved one was forgetting many things. Not just events, people, or relationships, but also cause-and-effect relationships, reasoning, judgment, social norms—everything. The way they are forgetting cannot be simply dismissed as just an 'age-related problem.' What should you do in that case? Who should you go to? Who will give you the right direction? In many cases, such a person is hard to find.

As human life expectancy increases and the number of elderly people in society grows, the problem of dementia or memory loss is also increasing. Every three seconds, somewhere in the world, someone is losing their memory. A large part of their life is just being erased from their existence. Yet, awareness about this is still minimal. The infrastructure for the care of people with dementia is also inadequate. This book provides various detailed information about what dementia is, what its symptoms are, whether there is any treatment for it, how to care for a dementia patient, which organizations outside the family take responsibility for the care of dementia patients, what the duties of caregivers of dementia patients are, and how they can keep their own body and mind healthy while managing everything. This book is not just a collection of countless words, but a helping hand, something that can provide some comfort in the dark.
