        In the Dementia Maze

        A Graphic Novel

        by Albin Zauner

        Is it possible to tell in drawings how people with dementia experience, cope with, or fail in their everyday lives? The art therapist Albin Zauner has accom­plished this feat. The picture story comprises 84 drawings and is one of the frst graphic novels on the subject of dementia. The focus is not on the medical­pathologizing view of the dis­ease pattern or course, but on the pro­tagonist’s inner world of experience. The existential effects, the loss of spa­tial and temporal orientation, the memo­ry lapses and the breakdown of speech, permeate the old man’s world of experi­ence in symbolic image sequences.

        Presence

        The strange science and true stories of the unseen other

        by Ben Alderson-Day

        In this enthralling book, Ben Alderson-Day explores one of the most curious experiences known to humankind: the universal, disturbing sense that someone or something is there when we are alone - the feeling of an unseen presence. When and why do presences emerge? What does this feeling mean and where does it come from? And how can we even begin to understand a phenomenon that can be transformative for those who experience it and yet so hard to put into words? The answers to these questions lie in this fascinating exploration through cutting-edge research in contemporary psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience and philosophy. Taking the reader on a riveting and emotional journey, Presence offers remarkable insights into the experience of felt presence and how it relates to a range of medical conditions, including sleep paralysis, dementia and Parkinson's. This compelling story will stoke the fascination of sceptics and ardent believers alike who are drawn to the mystery of the unseen.

        Drugs as Micronutrient Robbers

        What your doctor and pharmacist ought to tell you

        by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters

        Many of us have to take drugs on a regular basis. But birth control pills, antibiotics, blood pressure medication, statins, diabetes medication, diuretics, anti-cancer drugs, gastrointestinal remedies or preparations against osteoporosis can all rob the body of essential vitamins and minerals. Often, drug-related micronutrient deficiency is the unrecognized cause of drug side effects. Symptoms such as exhaustion, depression, lack of concentration, irritability, sleep disorders or even dementia can result. Such problems can be prevented. Informed patients can take preventive measures, avoid unwanted side effects and make their drug therapy more effective. This guide explains what to watch out for and how to improve quality of life.
