It centers around the story of a family caring for an elderly person with dementia, discussing how to detect the illness, how to get them to see a doctor, and specific caregiving strategies, along with easy-to-understand explanations of the disease. The key point is, "See a doctor as soon as possible. Then there's something that can be done." However, this book is not just a book that reveals caregiving know-how. Underlying it is the warm gaze of the author, a psychiatrist, who believes that "even an elderly person with dementia is still an irreplaceable human being." That gaze is also directed at the caregivers. Caregivers tend to whip themselves, thinking, "I have to do my best," but the author says, "You cannot make the person being cared for happy if the caregiver is not happy. If you don't have room for yourself, you'll drown together. Absolutely no overdoing it." This book also makes you think deeply about what medicine is and what it means to care for someone. #MasahikoSaito #Masahiko_Saito #book #JapaneseLiterature/Essays #Dementia #Bungeishunju #Shinsho (New Book)
