In his line of work, Dr. Ronald Devere has seen a steady increase in the level of concern over Alzheimer’s disease in relationship to other life-threatening illnesses, like cancer. The neurologist, who has served on many Alzheimer’s disease organizations, explains the frightening process of losing one’s memory in “Memory Loss: Everything You Want to Know but Forget to Ask” (ISBN 1463602316).
Devere provides important facts about memory loss in hopes of soothing the readers’ worries of Alzheimer’s disease. He breaks down the complicated memory system, and which memory changes or lapses are normal and which ones are not. He points out various causes of memory loss and the consequential treatments.
Devere shares his professional experience and advice through various case studies that are supported by MRI and CAT scan samples and brain anatomy illustrations. He includes a listing of memory clinics across the U.S., as well as a glossary of medical terms to help readers easily understand the information. Devere believes that the information in “memory loss” will also help readers become less fearful and worried about memory changes and its connection to Alzheimer’s disease.
“As a neurologist who specializes in memory and cognitive disorders, I have seen an increase in the fear of Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss in not only patients and their caregivers, but the general public as well,” Devere says. “A lot of this fear comes from the TV and movie industry which portrays Alzheimer individuals in the very late stages of the disease, (ADD) and from the national Alzheimer’s Association, which emphasizes the disease in a negative way without giving all the facts.”
The author believes that the information in his work will help sooth many of the fears of memory loss, which the public has unnecessarily formed, so they will seek proper professional help as early as possible and have their memory changes properly diagnosed and treated.
“Memory Loss: Everything You Want to Know but Forget to Ask” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
