Instead, Angela put her dreams aside to raise her family. But after her diagnosis of early-onset dementia, instead of shutting down or continuing to prioritize others over herself, Angela embraced her career anew and traveled the country performing with a local singing group. You'll also meet Marcel, who considered Alzheimer's as a wake-up call to recalibrate his life priorities, and Mary-Louise, who didn't have family nearby to rely on but found an advocate in a new friend she met in a writing group. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith an incredibly thorough and deeply comforting approach, Dr. Tan tackles everything from how to have a conversation with a person experiencing early memory loss, to how to prepare for an initial assessment for Alzheimer's, and what accommodations and interventions are needed for every stage and type of dementia. He delves into the surprisingly hopeful research on new treatment and caregiving resources everyone should know, and reveals how other families and remarkable individuals he's treated over the years have handled both difficult challenges and incredible triumphs after diagnosis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 07\/01\/2026 pg. 76 (EAN 9781668093771, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eTan, Zaldy\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDr. Zaldy Tan is the Director of the Memory \u0026amp; Healthy Aging Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, ranked by the US News and World Report in 2024 as the best hospital on the US West Coast and among the top hospitals in the country.
