The Person Behind Dementia. The personal portraits of eight people with early-onset dementia

What is it like to be affected by dementia at a young age, and how does a dementia diagnosis change your life? In very personal conversations, eight Danes talk about how dementia has changed their lives. They talk about the confusion, frustration, sadness, and loneliness that often accompanies a neurological disorder. But it is also a book about the new dimensions of life that arise when dealing with a deadly disease.
