Alzheimer’s Day:September 21
World Alzheimer's Day, September 21st of
each year, is a day on which Alzheimer's organizations around the world
concentrate their efforts on raising awareness about Alzheimer's and dementia.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, a group of disorders
that impairs mental functioning .Every 68 seconds, someone develops Alzheimer's
disease. At current rates, experts believe the number of Americans living with
Alzheimer’s wills quadruple to as many as 16 million by the year 2050.Alzheimer's
disease is often called a family disease, because the chronic stress of
watching a loved one slowly decline affects everyone. Alzheimer's disease is
the sixth-leading cause of death in countries like United States and the only
cause of death among the top 10 that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed.
With the increases in life spans and baby boomers coming of age, support for
Alzheimer’s research is more critical to our families than ever.
Memory loss-Forgetting recently learned information is
one of the most common early signs of dementia. A person begins to forget more
often and is unable to recall the information later.
o What’s normal? Forgetting
names or appointments occasionally.
Difficulty
performing familiar tasks-People
with dementia often find it hard to plan or complete everyday tasks.
Individuals may lose track of the steps involved in preparing a meal, placing a
telephone call or playing a game.

forgetting why you came into a room or what you planned to say.

telemarketers.

a questionable or debatable decision from time to time.

abstract thinking-Someone with Alzheimer’s disease may have
unusual difficulty performing complex mental tasks, like forgetting what
numbers are for and how they should be used.

person with Alzheimer’s disease may put things in unusual places: an iron in
the freezer a wristwatch in the sugar bowl.
