Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative sickness that impairs the functions of the brain and presence memory loss, cognitive frailty, and the inability to sustain your own living standards.
When is World Alzheimer’s Day 2024?
World Alzheimer’s Day is the 21st of September in the whole world every year, as part of the overarching World Alzheimer Month. The main objectives of this campaign are to bring the core cause of this disease to the surface, challenge the stigma of mental diseases, and provide help to the individuals themselves.
The theme for World Alzheimer’s Day 2024
2024’s theme will be “Understanding Alzheimer’s: Early Diagnosis Matters.” The ideas of this year are running around the rapid diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and quality of life improvements associated with suitable and timely treatment of the people who have them.
What is Alzheimer’s Disease?
Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative sickness that impairs the functions of the brain and presence memory loss, cognitive frailty, and the inability to sustain your own living standards. It’s the most common cause of dementia in older adults, and it does not have a cure.
History of World Alzheimer’s Day
World Alzheimer’s Day was introduced in 2012 by Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) to increase awareness and correct misconceptions about the disease. World over, millions of people have come together for it, supporting it by educating people and providing support.
Symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease
- Some signs or symptoms of Alzheimer’s may include:
- Memory loss that disrupts daily life
- Difficulty solving problems or completing familiar tasks
- Confusion with time or place
- Trouble understanding visual images or spatial relationships
- Mood changes, including depression or withdrawal
How to Get Involved
- Participate in Awareness Events: Take part in local memory walks to raise funds. Organizers use the money raised to fund donations and services for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
- Share Knowledge: Impact various people around the globe using your platform as your advocate. Also, find some information and share them in electronic media (newspapers, online articles infographics, etc); your personal touching stories (about Alzheimer’s) at art shows, e-books, etc.
- Volunteer: Dedicate your time to your friends or perhaps to Alzheimer’s patients in organizations and people dealing with dementia who offer your help.
- Support a Loved One: Practice tolerance and give your loved ones with Alzheimer’s feedback. For them, doing that will ease their struggle on their journey. Put yourself in their situation and show love and understanding while patients are having a suicidal gesture or an aggressive outbreak.
Ways to Support People Living with Alzheimer’s
- Establish a Safe Environment: You make sure that they will live only in a well-known and safe living place.
- Facilitate Social Behavioral Therapy: Conversation bridging should be set up as a means of stimulating interest.
- Keep Order: For more assuredness in top management, I recommend the establishment of routines at the sites to reduce the risks of the erratic behavior of customers.
- To Be Patient and Compassionate: Appreciate the psychological impact on the human brain due to Alzheimer’s disease.
