A lot of repeating the same information.

A lot of repeating the same information. Seemed to deal with percentages of people being misdiagnosed with other dementias. Instead of actually having NPH. Would have liked to hear more of personal stories of people with the condition. For the price it was ok. Do plan to read other books with more in depth information.
