Clinical diagnosis and management of Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease is not only a dementia, to the lay public it is the dementia. Clinical Diagnosis and Management of Alzheimer's Disease, under the editorial guidance of Serge Gauthier, is written by an international and multidisciplinary team which represents the reality of Alzheimer's disease. Contributors from different institutions, and different countries, have collaborated on individual chapters so that the reader is offered an international and personal perspective.Alzheimer's disease has no boundaries: it is a condition which affects all people of all countries; a condition that requires the help of both doctor and family, the community and the individual. The information provided here reflects work in progress on aetiology, clinical and laboratory assessment, natural evolution, medical and non-medical management.
