Mild Cognitive Impairment: Where to Start Reading

Oct 1 8:16am | Dr. Melanie Chandler, HABIT FL Director | @drmelaniechandler | Comments (3)

We have been adding information to this page for almost 7 years now, so there is a lot of information!  That also means that if you are new to this page, that can be a bit overwhelming.  So, I thought I would compile a list of past articles that I thought had practical tips, as a way to get started.  Here's the list I've come up with:

General Mild Cognitive Impairment Articles:

That’s me… 12 years ago, I had/have a bicycle accident that hit my head… I am, now, I am a TBI member! And sure, I lost 80% of my memories, professional abilities, and names of other “friends” (FB, previous workers, chruch’s brothers & sisters, some grand kids, most of my cousins and on),,,. Uh-ok, I’m sick of this, but mart of my brain is higher & better than before, daily - Thank-you Lord everyday You Help me 🙂

I would also suggest the book, Still Me: Accepting Alzheimer's without Losing Yourself, by Rebecca Chopp who very likely wrote the book, Still Alice, under the nom de plume of Lisa Genova which blow-by-blow gives the experiences of someone going through MCI to death and provides references.

Great recommendation, @davejr. @DrDonaLocke agrees. She posted a review of Rebecca Chopp's book and video here:
