"This book is like a conversation with a trusted friend who provides practical knowledge and well-researched advice on topics not often discussed. My recommendation is that everyone over 65 should read it now."
--John E. Prescott, MD, FACEP, Professor Emeritus and Former Dean, WVU School of Medicine; Former Chief Academic Officer, Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) "In this practical, informative, and humanistic book, Dr. Frumkin helps us understand what normal aging means for our memory. Memory lapses don't equal memory loss. Memory changes don't always portend cognitive decline. This book combines evidence with experience to help us ask questions like 'what is normal for age?' and 'what is memory?' and 'what is aging?'"
--Shari Barkin, MD, MSHS, Endowed Professor and Chair of Pediatrics and Physician in Chief, Children's Hospital of Richmond at Virginia Commonwealth University "[Dr. Frumkin's] transparency, passion for accuracy, humor, and intellect make for a complex read that still makes for easy understanding while providing hope through knowledge."
--H. Nicholas Augenstein, MD, Internist and Geriatrician; Physician Emeritus and Associate Professor, Eastern Virginia Medical School, retired "This is quite a book. It covers a lot of ground and in exceptional depth. It is extremely well documented with current references.... For the 'Worried Well, ' it can give great comfort, or at its worst, confirm the fact that someone may be of the 'Worried Un-well.'"
--Nick Augenstein, M.D., Internal Medicine; Associate Professor EVMS, retired; Physician Emeritus "Dr. Frumkin's book is for you if you want an honest, scientific, and practical explanation of the existing data, concepts, causes, and treatments of age-related memory problems, including the large variety of potential cognitive deficits that may affect people as they get older.... You will also want to lend it out, but be sure to get it back."
--Alan Robert Ross, PhD "[Dr. Frumkin's] perspective on neurodegeneration/dementia is both scientific and personal and will give much-needed insight to the readers. This book will provide readers with new information and support them with what they might already feel or know."
--Saket Saxena, MD, Center for Geriatric Medicine; Co-Director Geriatric Emergency Department, Cleveland Clinic "Frumkin breaks new ground and establishes significant scientific and practical benchmarks for the study of one of the most vexing societal and mental health care challenges of our generation. Scientists and physicians who study this issue will be using his framework to guide and assist their efforts in addressing the issues affecting the lives of generations of people to come. Both health care professionals and interested readers will be well advised to add Frumkin's seminal work to their libraries."
