He's 18 months older than I am and has Down Syndrome. First the doctors said he wouldn't live past 10. Then he was expected to die before the age of 20. He did have some health problems, but none were life-threatening, and he grew up to be strong and athletic. Then, as he reached 40, I read reports claiming that "all" adults with DS would develop Alzheimer's Disease, usually in their 40s. This was an awful prospect! But now, at 53, he continues to be much the same - a little more set in his ways, perhaps - but healthy, capable, and active. When I learned about the book, "Mental Wellness in Adults with Down Syndrome", I ordered it immediately and have read it with great interest. It was fascinating to learn that adults with DS are no more likely to die young than anyone else, as long as they receive appropriate medical care, and that the incidence of Alzheimer's in this population is no more common that in the general population. Rather, it has been common for health issues to be ignored or not treated because they are often attributed to Down Syndrome instead of a treatable condition. And misunderstandings in the medical community of what is normal mental functioning in adults with DS have led to misdiagnoses of Alzheimers in many cases. This book has been a real eye-opener for me, and helped me understand my brother and appreciate him even more. It's about time!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Comprehensive Resource *by K***U on Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2015* This was recommended to me by the sister of an elderly person with Down Syndrome and I have absolutely been floored by it. It's challenging to find resources to help people who have "dual diagnoses" and this is one of the most comprehensive that I've come around. To top it all off, it's tone is pragmatic but positive. This is great for anyone who cares with someone with Down Syndrome, particularly with a "dual diagnosis" of mental illness or ASD. There's a lot here that has broader relevance and which is applicable to anyone caring for someone with an intellectual disability. The section on memory is a great example of why I found this invaluable; it addresses the different types of memory, identified strengths and weaknesses, and outlined what each might look like in real life. Please, more like this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars As a Parent. *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2012* I think this is a great book for anyone who lives or works with adolescents or adults with Down Syndrome. My daughter, almost 19, never fit the typical Down Syndrome children are angels always so loving mold. This book helped to explain why in a way that I could understand. We are still going through a painful rough ride, but this book gives me information ( empowerment) that we will survive the rocky road and get to a place of peace. I also bought a copy for her teacher who has been teaching for over 20 years and she loved it as well. She has started loaning out her copy to parents who might not be able to afford their own copy. After she told me this I bought 2 more copy's so that anyone who wants access to this great book can have it. A definite 'MUST HAVE' for parents of young adults with Down Syndrome. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/8378279-mental-wellness-in-adults-with-down-syndrome-a-guide-to](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/8378279-mental-wellness-in-adults-with-down-syndrome-a-guide-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
