Title: American Dementia: Brain Health in an Unhealthy Society

Author: Daniel R. George, Peter J. Whitehouse

Narrator: Luis Moreno

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16:04:47

Language: English

Release date: 11-09-21

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Health & Wellness, Disorders & Diseases, Mental Health

Summary:

For decades, researchers have chased a pharmaceutical cure for memory loss. But despite the fact that no disease-modifying biotech treatments have emerged, new research suggests that dementia rates have actually declined in the United States

and Western Europe over the last decade. Why is this happening? And what does it mean for brain health in the future?

In American Dementia, Daniel R. George, PhD, MSc, and Peter J. Whitehouse, MD, PhD, argue that the current decline of dementia may be strongly linked to midtwentieth century policies that reduced inequality, provided widespread access to

education and health care, and brought about cleaner air, soil, and water. They also

explain why Alzheimers disease, an obscure clinical label until the 1970s, is the hallmark illness of our current hyper-capitalist era;

reveal how the soaring inequalities of the twenty-first centurywhich are sowing poverty, barriers to health care and education, loneliness, lack of sleep, stressful life events, environmental exposures, and climate changeare reversing the gains of the twentieth century and damaging our brains;

tackle the ageist tendencies in our culture, which disadvantage both vulnerable youth and elders;

make an evidence-based argument that policies like single-payer health care, a living wage, and universal access to free higher education and technical training programs will build collective resilience to dementia; and

promote strategies that show how local communities can rise above the disconnection and loneliness that define our present moment and come together to care for our struggling neighbors.

Ultimately, American Dementia asserts that actively remembering lessons from the twentieth century which help us become a healthier, wiser, and more compassionate society represents our most powerful intervention for preventing

Alzheimers and protecting human dignity. Exposing the inconvenient truths that confound market-based approaches to memory enhancement as well as broader social organization, the book imagines how we can act as citizens to protect our

brains, build the cognitive resilience of younger generations, and rise to the moral challenge of caring for the cognitively frail.
