    “Dementia and cognitive impairment have become increasingly common in our aging population. When drugs don’t work, many individuals and their families simply despair and give up. There is another way — the integrative, natural methods advocated by Dr. James Lake, one of our nation’s leading authorities on non-drug approaches to mental health. I highly recommended this book for the individuals, caretakers, and families struggling with these challenging problems.”
