ANYONE with a loved one living with dementia is likely to identify with the experiences expressed in the pages of Still Me — A Neuroscientist’s Guide to Caring for Someone with Dementia. While its author, Dr Sabina Brennan, a neuroscientist and psychologist, is an experienced academic author, there is nothing academic about this book. Its emphasis is on clear, practical ways to help address the challenges that caregivers and their loved ones with dementia face.

“In the book, I wanted to say to people, just do what you can. Providing the best care doesn’t mean you have to do it all.”
