À propos de cet épisode

<p><em>This is an episode from our archives.</em><br /><br />Around 2013, author and cardiologist Sandeep Jauhar started noticing some worrying changes in his father. He would forget the code to their safe; he couldn&rsquo;t remember what he did the day before and would get lost driving home. Eventually, his father was diagnosed with Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease. In his new book, <a href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/my-fathers-brain/id1623194942" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>My Father&rsquo;s Brain: Life in the Shadow of Alzheimer&rsquo;s</em></a>, Jauhar chronicles the challenges of caring for a sick parent and explains where medicine is today when it comes to treatment for this incurable illness.</p>
