World Alzheimer’s Day!

#CreatingAwareness

Today is marked as World Alzheimer’s Day!

In 1984, a small band of pioneers and experts came together to discuss the formation of an international organisation for Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease causes the brain to shrink and brain cells to eventually die. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia — a gradual decline in memory, thinking, behavior and social skills. These changes affect a person’s ability to function.
World Alzheimer’s Day was launched at the opening of ADI’s annual conference in Edinburgh on September 21, 1994 to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
World Alzheimer’s Day is a vital opportunity to raise awareness, address misconceptions, and promote understanding of the disease.
By encouraging conversations and sharing information, we can break down the stigma that often isolates those living with dementia and their families.
The theme for this year’s World Alzheimer’s day is ‘Never too early, never too late’ and aims to underscore the pivotal role of identifying risk factors and adopting proactive risk-reduction measures to delay, and potentially prevent, the onset of dementia.
