About the Author:
A recent report from King's College, London, predicted that by 2050 more than 115 million people across the globe will suffer from dementia. The sad fact is that 1 in 6 women and 1 in 10 men who live to be 55 or older will be affected, requiring special care—and protection from exploitation.
Andrew S. Rosenzweig, MD, MPH, is a board certified and fellowship trained geriatric psychiatrist who specializes in the treatment of the elderly in long-term care facilities.
