Atypical Dementias

Understanding Midlife Language, Visual, Behavioral and Cognitive Changes

By: Jamie Talan

Narrated by: Gabra Zackman

Many people–maybe even most people—know someone who has what they call Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s seems to be everywhere. That people are living longer today—long enough for it to manifest itself—is often given as the reason for its prevalence. But some of those people who have puzzling brain changes are surprisingly young; in their fifties—the middle of their lives. And what they have is not the “traditional” Alzheimer’s disease.

Great balance of science reporting and storytelling

This book does an incredible job weaving the science and human sides of various dementia types. The writing makes it an easy read for anyone looking to gain more understanding of a topic and related impacts that are often difficult/heart-wrenching to learn about.
