Alzheimer’s is a type of Dementia. People suffering from the disease start losing their cognitive abilities and tend to forget daily routines, making them dependent on others. Learn what families can do to take care of an elderly family member suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
World Alzheimer’s Day is observed every year on September 21 to spread awareness and reduce stigma around the disease. This year, the day’s theme is “The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do: A Dementia Diagnosis Matters”.
This theme emphasises that cognitive decline can be delayed if the disease is diagnosed early. For this, people should be aware of the symptoms and willing to break the stigma by seeking timely intervention from medical practitioners.
