Krishna-Living With Alzheimer's

Alzheimer s is the commonest form of dementia, a condition that denotes not only memory loss but degeneration of all motor abilities. It has been estimated that the incidence of Alzheimer s and other dementias among the ageing in India is as high as 47 per cent.

This is the story of Krishna Bhattacharya s fight against Alzheimer s, written by her husband. It is a frank, sensitive and unsentimental account of inadequate medical knowledge; of the importance of care; the ethics of care-giving; and the confusing, heartrending, often frustrating, but also uplifting, experience of living with a loved one who is living with Alzheimer s.
