New Orleans, LA May 17, 2004 -- Physician, author and columnist Dr. Kathleen Wilson will present two new books at this years BookExpo in Chicago. Health For Midlife Women: When You Think You Are Falling Apart shares with women the latest thinking on psychological problems, anti-depressant use, what the Womens Health Initiative studies really showed about estrogen replacement therapy.

She has focused her medical practice on midlife people and observes what keeps them healthy.

Brain Maintenance: How To Prevent Stroke and Delay Dementia covers the most exciting news since the discovery of penicillin in the last century. While most people are fatalistic about whether they will get dementia later in life, research in the last two years has shown us that much of dementia may be preventable. Stroke (vascular disease of the brain) and Alzheimers are no longer considered to be independent of each other but synergistic. Dr. Wilson tells people how to protect their brains by preventing stroke and other forms of brain damage. The first third of the book, reviews the latest studies on how the brain works, The Nun Study, and studies over many years of what makes people happy and mentally successful later in life. She explains clearly what Alzheimers, stroke and dementia are and she tells people the things they can do so they do not get dementia. This book is a new outlook on your brains health.
