David Ames, MD: "Alzheimer's Disease: Why it matters to all of us."

David Ames first became interested in mental illness among the elderly during his junior residency at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in 1980. In the three ensuing decades, he has become a world expert in Alzheimer's Disease, Depression and other psychiatric illnesses in senior populations.
Currently Director of the National Ageing Research Institute and Professor of Ageing and Health at the University of Melbourne, David Ames has co-edited over 15 books, written or co-written over 30 book chapters, over 130 papers in peer reviewed journals and over 120 other non-peer reviewed scientific articles and reviews. He has served as a Member of the Board of Directors of the International Psychogeriatric Association and edited its quarterly newsletter 1996-2002. He is also a member of the Medical & Scientific Advisory Panel of Alzheimer's Disease International and just finished a tenure as Editor of the peer reviewed journal International Psychogeriatrics (2003-2011).

IDEAS in Psychiatry is a nonprofit educational institute that provides useful, accurate and up-to-date scientific information about psychiatric illnesses, symptoms, and treatments. Our goal is to change the conversation -- to encourage open, honest and informed discussion -- so that those impacted by mental illness can seek effective help for themselves or their loved ones 
and so that professionals have the tools to deliver the best care possible.

Thank you for your comment. I've checked it from my home and I can't find anything, but I have excellent internet speed this time of day. Perhaps, others can chime in and let me know how it is on their end.
