Books on Dementia

One of the best ways to learn about what a dementia diagnosis means for you is to read about the experiences of others. Some books on dementia are helpful because they assist you in understanding the disease, others can change the whole way you approach the illness and the person who has it.

Books can teach you to be a better caregiver, or they can help you begin to develop some realistic expectations of what the onset of a dementia causing condition will mean for you and your family going forward, allowing you to begin planning for the future.

Below I have provided some of the most widely recommended dementia and Alzheimer's disease relevant books. All of the prices listed are based on our sponsor partner The Book Depository's USD price listings.

The Book Depository is a worldwide deliverer of books and in most cases the shipping is free and the prices are very competitive.
