September is World Alzheimer's Month

Health and Wellness

September 5, 2024

World Alzheimer’s Month in September is a crucial opportunity to spread awareness and support those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. This global campaign, led by Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI),is dedicated to challenging the stigma surrounding dementia, spreading knowledge, and fostering a more dementia-friendly society. This year’s theme, “Time to Act on Dementia, Time to Act on Alzheimer’s,” calls for immediate action in reshaping how we perceive and address dementia.

The Importance of World Alzheimer’s Month

Dementia is a growing global health concern, affecting over 55 million people worldwide. Every three seconds, someone develops dementia, making it the seventh leading cause of death globally. In many countries, dementia has become the leading cause of death, highlighting the urgent need for increased awareness, better care, and supportive environments for those living with the condition.

During World Alzheimer’s Month, organizations, communities, and individuals across the globe come together to challenge outdated attitudes and practices. The goal is to educate, empower, and advocate for those affected by dementia, ensuring they receive the dignity, respect, and care they deserve.
