( ) The author, dealing with memory loss in mid-life, dives into this issue as she's not willing to just sign it off as something that happens to all of us at this time. She details the "Interventions" she goes through and tells us the good and the bad results as they unfold. While there was no simple pill or treatment for her, as a reader I came away with the knowledge that memory loss isn't inevitable. If your doctor shrugs it off you need to push him or her to help you find the cause. Barring a severe medical issue, it's not too late to do something to stem the tide. Journalist Cathryn Jakobson Ramin sets out to discover the cause of her missed appointments, lost keys, forgotten names, etc. She interviews experts in the field of mind studies as well as peers dealing with the same issue. It's comforting to know others having similar problems, but the entire subject is a little frightening for those of us of a similar age. Worth reading. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Why can't you remember where you put your keys? Or the title of the movie you saw last week? Anyone older than forty knows that forgetfulness can be unnerving, frustrating, and sometimes terrifying. With compassion and humor, acclaimed journalist Cathryn Jakobson Ramin explores the factors that determine how well or poorly one's brain will age. She takes readers along on her lively journey--consulting with experts in the fields of sleep, stress, traumatic brain injury, hormones, genetics, and dementia, as well as specialists in nutrition, cognitive psychology, and the burgeoning field of drug-based cognitive enhancement. Along the way, she turns up fresh scientific findings, explores the dark regions of the human brain, and hears the intimate confessions of high-functioning midlife adults who--like so many of us--are desperate to understand exactly what's going on upstairs.
