World Alzheimer's Day
World Alzheimer's Day is observed on September 21st every year. It is a global campaign aimed at raising awareness and challenging the stigma surrounding Alzheimer's disease. The day aims to let the people know about the impact of Alzheimer's, support those affected, and promote research efforts to find a cure or effective treatment.
Identifying Alzheimer's disease can be challenging, as it typically develops slowly and progresses over time. However, here are some common signs and symptoms that may indicate the presence of Alzheimer's:
1. Memory loss: One of the most common early signs is difficulty remembering newly learned information, important dates, or events.
2. Challenges in problem-solving: Individuals with Alzheimer's may experience difficulty in planning and solving problems, such as following a recipe or managing finances.
3. Confusion with time or place: People with Alzheimer's may lose track of dates, seasons, or the passage of time. They may also forget where they are or how they got there.
4. Difficulty completing familiar tasks: Individuals may struggle to complete routine tasks that were once familiar to them, such as cooking a meal or getting dressed.
5. Language problems: People with Alzheimer's may have trouble finding the right words to express themselves or understanding others.
6. Misplacing items: Individuals may put things in unusual places and struggle to retrace their steps to find them.
7. Changes in mood and personality: Alzheimer's can cause changes in mood, leading to confusion, suspicion, anxiety, and depression. Personality changes may also occur.
8. Withdrawal from social activities: As the disease progresses, individuals may start to withdraw from hobbies, social activities, work, or sports that they previously enjoyed.
It is important to note that experiencing one or more of these symptoms does not necessarily mean a person has Alzheimer's disease. However, if you or someone you know is exhibiting these signs, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
