Navigating Smell and Taste Disorders

Our senses of smell and taste are so essential that many of us don’t realize just how important they are until they’re lost. Smell and taste disorders can affect a person's ability to enjoy food and drink, resulting in weight loss or excessive intake of sugar and salt. They can also interfere with the ability to notice potentially dangerous gasses or pathogens. In severe cases, these disorders can even lead to depression. Navigating Smell and Taste Disorders is one of the first books to address this subject. It covers every facet of the disorder, including how smell and taste work, treatments, what to expect when visiting a specialist, recipes that appeal to other senses, first-person accounts of coping with the disorder, and much more. A must-have reference for all those coping with these disorders and their caregivers, Navigating Smell and Taste Disorders brings together two experts to offer patients relief.
