'WHAT EVERYBODY NEEDS TO READ... A DEEP AND POWERFUL UNDERSTANDING OF
WHAT THE PERSON WHO HAS DEMENTIA IS GOING THROUGH' - Davina McCall
'A BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN, PERSONAL, EMPATHETIC AND IMMENSELY PRACTICAL
BOOK' – Dr Harry Barry, GP, author and mental health advocate
The essential toolkit to navigating dementia, supporting loved ones
and caring for yourself
Dementia is devastating. Almost a million people are currently living
with the disease in the UK alone and this is set to triple by 2050.
With family members often providing care, navigating treatment can be
overwhelming. But there is life after diagnosis.
_Still Me _reframes the job of caring for someone with dementia as a
partnership. Both you and your loved one deserve respect, support and
the latest research to help you on your journey.
Top neuroscientist and bestselling author Dr Sabina Brennan combines
her professional knowledge with her personal experience of caring for
her mother with dementia. With a human-rights approach that validates
everyone's experience and dignity, she offers:
– A self-care plan for care partners to cope with demands and
optimise the caregiving experience
– Practical advice on how to manage challenging symptoms, stimulate
cognitive function and encourage a brain-healthy lifestyle
– Evidence-based therapies to improve both you and your relative's
quality of life.
Dementia can steal many things, but it doesn't have to take away the
simple pleasures of life. Shifting the focus from the disease to the
person, _Still Me_ reminds you that your relative is still there and
that you, as a care partner, are just as important.
