See full description

In 2006, Daniel Gibbs, author of A Tattoo on my Brain: A Neurologist's Personal Battle against Alzheimer's Disease (soon to be a documentary produced by MTV/Paramount+), first noticed symptoms which he now knows to have been early signs of his Alzheimer's Disease. Daniel still writes every day, something he credits with keeping his mind sharper and his demons at bay. This book is a personal collection of essays written over the past two years that describe his own personal experiences, first treating patients with Alzheimer's, and now living with the disease himself. The book presents an up-to-date discussion of recent advances and setbacks in Alzheimer's research. Humane and hopeful, this book offers evidence-based information on how it may be possible even now to slow progression of the disease.

Daniel Gibbs is a retired general neurologist with mild Alzheimer's dementia. He has written previously about his experiences as seen from two points of view, doctor and patient, in A Tattoo on my Brain: A Neurologist's Personal Battle against Alzheimer's Disease, Cambridge University Press, 2021 and 2023 (revised edition).
