"How do I cope if my wife doesn't recognize me anymore?" 

"How should I react if my father gets up in the middle of the night and thinks it is daytime?" 

"Where is the balance between caring and worrying?" 

The Simplicity of Dementia is an accessible and sympathetic introduction on how to deal with the challenges of dementia at each stage of the disease and how to support loved ones experienceing it.  Author: Huub Buijssen

In this book, psychologist Huub Buijssen explains dementia in simple, understandable terms. The book provides clear and explanations, and examples, for many of the confusing and upsetting behaviors common to people with dementia. Topics include:

What is dementia?

The simple logic behind dementia

The experience of dementia

Communication

Mood problems: Aggression, Depression and Suspicion

Behavior problems: Clinging, Wandering and Nighttime Restlessness

Management guidelines and activities

The Family: hidden victims

Feelings of guilt

So many caregivers, baffled by what appears to be unusual behavior, have no idea what to do or how to react – to problems such as the patient’s insistence that nothing is wrong, how to communicate when your loved one can no longer speak, and so much more. This book addresses and offers solutions to many problems common to the disease, but foreign to what anyone could expect, caring for a loved one with a progressive, degenerative neurological condition.
