About the Book

El Alzheimer es incurable... pero no todas las demencias son Alzheimer, y sobre todo, no todas las demencias son incurables. Y por eso hay que estar informado. No todos los problemas de memoria se deben al Alzheimer. ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre los olvidos "benignos" y los olvidos que sugieren demencia? Este libro aclara todas esas dudas. Cuando una persona es diagnosticada con demencia, a sus ojos, el mundo se detiene. Pero para el cuidador el universo comienza a girar de manera desenfrenada: la carga física y psicológica que lleva sobre sus hombros se ha elevado y sus responsabilidades y tareas se han multiplicado; él o ella ha perdido su libertad de la noche a la mañana, ha tenido que abandonar sus propios intereses, gustos y actividades. Ese constante estrés pone en peligro su salud física, emocional, psicológica, funcional y hasta social. ¡Según algunas estadísticas, el 30% de los cuidadores muere antes que la persona a quienes cuidan! El cuidador tiene que estar preparado, para no perecer en el esfuerzo. Alzheimer SOS es una guía para comprender y aprender a lidiar con el Alzheimer y las demencias en general. SOS es la llamada internacional de auxilio, y en inglés muchos la toman como "Save Our Souls" (Salve Nuestras Almas). Este libro es un "salvavidas" para los que sienten que sus vidas se fueron a pique con el diagnóstico de demencia. Alzheimer SOS aclara la preocupaciones, elimina las incertidumbres y desarticula los temores. Este libro es un mapa que señala el camino, promoviendo trucos, tratos y estrategias, que hacen más fácil la vida del cuidador. ¿Alzheimer o Demencia? La demencia no es una enfermedad, es el nombre que se da a un conjunto de síntomas de varias enfermedades que afectan la memoria y la capacidad mental. Estos síntomas obstaculizan el desarrollo normal de la vida diaria. Las demencias pueden ser reversibles o irreversibles (curables o incurables.) Entre las demencias incurables está la enfermedad de Alzheimer, el tipo más común de demencia, que representa el 70% de todos los casos. Pero lo importante es que NO TODAS las demencias son incurables. Hay muchas demencias producidas por medicinas, intoxicaciones y estilos de vida dañinos al cerebro. Y por eso hay que estar informado.
