Description

A practical, self-help guide for living well with cognitive difficulties

Problems with memory, attention, complex thinking skills, language, speed of thinking and visual perception are remarkably common, and are often experienced by those coping with neurological conditions. These range from acquired brain injuries like stroke and head injury through to deteriorating conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Specific cognitive difficulties are also a common feature of neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD, dyslexia and autism.

Similar issues are also often experienced in normal ageing, and as side-effects of other conditions, such as anxiety, depression, long COVID, chronic pain, fatigue and schizophrenia. Cognitive difficulties are not only prevalent; they can be extremely problematic.

By following the advice in this book, you will:
· Better understand your own cognitive difficulties.
· Learn simple strategies for managing them.
· Be equipped to lead a richer, more meaningful life.

Living Well self-help guides use clinically proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical.
