Dementialand: A Journey Through the Uncharted Territory of Dementia
In 2010, Charles Thompson was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. At the age of 58, he was forced to confront the inevitable loss of his memory, his independence, and his very self.
Dementialand is Thompson's unflinching and deeply moving account of his journey through the uncharted territory of dementia. With honesty, humor, and insight, he shares his experiences of memory loss, confusion, and disorientation. He also explores the challenges and rewards of caregiving, and the profound impact that dementia has on both the person with the disease and their loved ones.
