Making the Connection Between Brain and Behavior: Coping with Parkinson's Disease

3 reviews
M.D. Joseph H. Friedman

Demos Health, 2007

Making the Connection Between Brain and Behavior
Parkinson described the Shaking Palsy in 1817 as a motor disorder without significant effect on the mind. Charcot agreed in his analysis half a century later. Only recently has it been appreciated that depression, dementia, and other mental problems can be the most disabling features of this disease. As a neurologist who developed Parkinsonism myself I have in vain been searching for a ...

With the aid of this book, I am now fully functional again and able to cope with the minor relapses. I strongly recommend this book to those who suffer, their friends and caregivers.

Clever ways to learn to be clever again
There are few injuries more traumatic than brain injuries. Not to be able to find just the right word at just the right time can be...devastating. This book will teach you tricks for how to cope. Much of it consists in learning to plan, to take notes, and to organize, organize, and organize again so you can regain your life. I would like to point out also that this book would be of ...

Demos Health, 2007

A Must Read for GBS Patients/PCP/ICU Nurses
Until I was told I had GBS (Nov 2007), I had never heard of it. Once I read this book cover to cover, I gained an understanding of GBS, which I had been looking for and was unable to find in others. I felt as if someone had been following me around, writing down everything that happened the weeks before and the first two weeks I was in the hospital. This book should be required reading for ...

Demos Health

Buy this book!
A friend recommended that I buy the book Gluten Free, Hassle Free: My 5 year old daughter suffers from allergies, asthma, and eczema. After seeing many specialists, and taking many tests, I was not getting any answers and decided to cut dairy, wheat, and gluten out of her diet. I also have a husband to feed, as well as a toddler (and a baby on the way), and since I do not have time to make ...

Epilepsy: Patient and Family Guide

10 reviews
M.D. Orrin Devinsky

Demos Health, 2007

A good resource
More coverage than the usual general publications. Of course, that means all does not apply to your situation, but what does? And, since this is the third edition and only a year from copyright, the information is reasonably current and the reader can always search Amazon for the fourth edition. The section on resources is particularily important, since treatment, etc. will continually change, ...

The Ketogenic Diet: A Treatment for Children and Others with Epilepsy

John Freeman, M.D. Eric H. Kossoff, ...

Demos Health, 2006

Thought provoking information
I'm interested in unusual therapies, and know someone who has a child with multiple disabilities including a seizure disorder. I found a videotape about this diet at a rummage sale a few years ago, and while it makes the diet sound relatively simple, this book says otherwise and goes into detail about people who are good candidates for the diet and those who are not. Many testimonials and case ...

Demos Health, 2005

A 'must' for any serious health collection
Plenty of facts appear in a great many medical guides to multiple sclerosis; but Dr. T.

Demos Health, 2006

It's the perfect, unique choice
Many Americans with disabilities need a personal attendant to live independently - but very few titles address how to find a qualified attendant and how to work with one. Katie Banister is herself disabled and also a speaker and advocate: her title pairs forms and worksheets to organize an attendant search with advice on anecdotes for caregivers and disabled alike, pairing personal stories of ...

I wish I had read this before I got pregnant a second time (first time with my disablity). This should be on all disabled women's preconception booklists along with Taking Charge of Your Fertility.

Since reading this book, I don't feel so alone.
Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is not only physically painful, it is emotionally very painful. I can no longer work at my life's profession, I cannot turn a doorknob, open my mail,even typing this hurts like the dickens. I no longer go many places...I fall a lot.

2 reviews
The Mayo Clinic

Demos Health, 2009

A Wonderful Reference
First of all, this is the real deal. These are the folks who do spinal cord work at the Mayo Clinic. The book is aimed at a general audience but as an RN with a number of years of neuro experience I learned a thing or two. If you are running a spinal rehab center and are not using this book you are not doing the job right. The book is divided into five main sections beginning with an ...

1 review
M.D. Mayank Pathak, M.D. Karen Frei, ...

Demos Health, 2003

A well written, concise, yet comprehensive discussion...
Dr. Pathak did a wonderful job of explaining the various aspects involved in Spasmodic Torticollis and its clinical course. By using actual clinical experiences the author succeeded both in providing a thorough discussion of the disorder, while also adding interest to a somewhat obscure topic. This book should be mandatory reading for those involved in the care and treatment of those afflicted ...
