Alzheimer's Awareness Month
Monday, September 5, 2022 at 10:22AM
September marks International Alzheimer's Awareness Month which aims to raise awareness and challenge the stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Dispelling the misconception, dementia is an umbrella term for a multitude of degenerative conditions affecting the brain in which AD is the most prevalent out of 200 subcategories, with a national prevalence of 4%. Known as a disorder categorized by disorientation and confusion, its side effects are not exclusively felt by the individual but ripples through the loved ones surrounding them.
Remember: Alzheimer's affects the entire family.
