World Alzheimer’s Month 2022

The aim of World Alzheimer’s month is to raise awareness and challenge the stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s and dementia. Many people still wrongly believe that dementia is a normal ageing. We want to spread awareness to the warning signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia. By recognising these signs early, people can benefit from information, support, and treatments.

Some common symptoms of Alzheimer’s and dementia includes:
• Memory loss
• Difficulty with activities requiring coordination
• Problems with language
• Disorientation to time and place
• Misinterpretation of information
• Problems keeping track of things
• Lack of interest or ability to begin activities
