Synopsis

Do I Have Dementia? A Realistic Guide for Worriers explores the arc of cognitive aging from young to old. It examines normal forgetfulness, memory symptoms that are abnormal for age, genetic factors that increase dementia risk, and strategies for preserving brain health. Do I Have Dementia is a realistic, science-based, and sympathetic guide for those who worry they are losing their minds.

Do I Have Dementia? A Realistic Guide for Worriers explores such questions as:

• What is dementia?
• What does normal brain aging look like?
• Are there benefits to cognitive aging?
• When is forgetting abnormal?
• Does a family history of dementia increase one's own risk for the disease?
• Can dementia be prevented?

“Many people in mid-life and older, people in the prime of their careers, experience forgetfulness. They worry about what it means for their brains,” says Dr. Joshua Johnson, M.D., the author and a practicing neurologist.

“When we forget something, we wonder if it is an early sign of dementia. People really worry about this. I do, too,” admits Dr. Johnson. “So, for the sake of both mental health and general health, it’s important for people to understand what is normal for cognitive aging and what is abnormal—what symptoms might actually be related to dementia.” Most people do not know what to expect of their aging brains. “That’s why I wrote this book,” he says, “To help people understand the difference between normal and abnormal forgetfulness.”
