“What everybody needs to read… a deep and powerful understanding of what the person who has dementia is going through.”
Davina McCall

“A beautifully written, personal, empathetic and immensely practical book.”
Dr Harry Barry, GP, author, and mental health advocate

Dementia is devastating. Almost a million people are currently living with the condition in the UK alone, a figure set to triple by 2050. For families and loved ones, the responsibility of care can feel overwhelming.

In Still Me, leading neuroscientist and bestselling author Dr Sabina Brennan offers an essential, deeply humane guide to navigating dementia, supporting those you love, and caring for yourself along the way. Drawing on both cutting-edge research and her personal experience of caring for her mother, Brennan reframes dementia care as a partnership rooted in dignity, respect, and connection.

Grounded in a human-rights approach, Still Me provides:

A practical self-care plan for care partners, helping you cope with the emotional and physical demands of caregiving

Clear, compassionate advice for managing challenging symptoms, stimulating cognitive function, and supporting a brain-healthy lifestyle

Evidence-based therapies designed to improve quality of life for both you and your loved one

Dementia may take many things, but it does not have to steal joy, meaning, or humanity. By shifting the focus from the disease to the person, Still Me reminds us that our loved ones are still here and that care partners matter just as much.
