 ANDREW E. BUDSON, MD

Welcome!


I'm Dr. Andrew Budson and I've coauthored books that focus on normal memory, aging memory, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and related disorders. On the Books tab, you’ll see that Why We Forget and How to Remember Better, Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory, and Six Steps to Managing Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia are written for everyone. Memory Loss, Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia, and, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy are aimed at professionals but written clearly so that everyone can understand them. Please check them out of your local library or order them from your favorite local bookseller or online retailer. I am also presenting at community events in the Boston area and beyond, and posting blogs on Psychology Today and Harvard Health. I’ve recently been examining Consciousness including its connection to dementia. Enjoy my website, including the Resources for both professionals and everyone. Click on the links below if you wish to contact me if you have questions, you'd like to participate in research or if you'd like me to give a talk to your organization.

All the best,

Andrew E. Budson, MD
