AN IRISH TIMES BESTSELLER '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.
