Adults are being increasingly diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment
(MCI), and this book provides strategies for concerned individuals to
help slow the onset of the condition. Around 50% of adults with MCI go
on to develop dementia, but research shows that self-help through early
intervention and preventative measures can hugely slow this down.
The self-help measures in this book include memory aids, health and
lifestyle changes, activities, therapies and technological aids. All of
them are known to improve cognition and can be incorporated into daily
life. Every measure is firmly based in current research, and this book
is also applicable to those with early-stage dementia wishing to delay
the onset of more severe cognitive impairment.
Given the paramount importance of early intervention to prevent
cognitive impairment worsening, this book is essential reading for any
older individual wanting the best strategies to help with how to do this
in practice.
