Making the Connection Between Brain and Behavior
Bok av Joseph Friedman
The only complete and up-to-date book addressing the most common behavioural symptoms of Parkinson's Disease, including depression, anxiety, hallucinations, delusions, confusion and delirium, disrupted sleep, and compulsive behaviour. When people think about Parkinson's disease they usually picture tremors, shuffling, and other physical changes. But as many as 90% of all Parkinson's patients also live with behavioural symptoms which few families are prepared to handle. In Making the Connection Between Brain and Behavior, second edition, Dr. Joseph H. Friedman, a leading expert in PD, explains the most common behavioural issues in down-to-earth, straightforward language, offers the most current research on available therapies and medications, and provides guidance on ways to communicate with your healthcare team. Now, fully updated and revised throughout and including three new chapters and two new appendices, Making the Connection Between Brain and Behavior includes even more information on a variety of treatment options, including Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). It is an essential resource for every person with PD and his or her family.
