Dementia is a serious health challenge. By some estimates, the number of people living with dementia could triple by 2050.

Although the diseases that cause dementia have long been considered unrelenting and incurable, there is hope.

• How dementia is diagnosed
• How to adjust to a dementia diagnosis
• Overcoming common dementia-related challenges
• Lifestyle factors that have been associated with healthy brain aging
• Living the best life possible as someone with dementia or as a care partner

Are there ways you can lower your risk of dementia? Can dementia be prevented? Can you live well with dementia? If so, how?
You’ll find the answers to these important questions and more in this book.
