September is World Alzheimer’s Month and has been since 2012.

The objective of World Alzheimer’s Day, which is recognized worldwide on September 21, is to raise public consciousness of the most prevalent type of dementia. Remembering, cognitive, and behavioural concerns are symptoms of the condition dementia. Usually, it worsens over time after a sluggish beginning.

The most prevalent type of dementia, Alzheimer’s impairs areas of the brain that regulate memories, cognition, reasoning, and speech or interaction in a way that is severe enough to interfere with a person’s everyday activities. While the exact cause of Alzheimer’s disease is unknown and there is no effective therapy, experts believe that controlling blood pressure, engaging in physical movement, and avoiding tobacco can lower the risk. Medication and therapies can also temporarily lessen the symptoms of hypertension, hearing loss, overweight, smoking, anxiety, diabetes, physical inactivity, and social isolation.

Elderly folks are the main demographic affected by Alzheimer’s disease. The alarming trend in India’s ageing population is a reason for concern.

Alzheimer’s disease’s precise origin is still unknown. This condition seems to be brought on by a number of intricate brain processes.

The disease Alzheimer’s has no known treatment. In order to effectively treat this disease, early identification is advantageous to the patient.

The Alzheimer’s Association estimates that around 47 million individuals worldwide have some kind of dementia.

It is a condition that occurs every 68 seconds.

The organisation has recently published reports showing that the disease is proliferating quickly in the US. It is anticipated that 16 million Americans would have the condition by 2050. The majority of Alzheimer’s patients are above 65. Since around 6% of persons 65 and older have Alzheimer’s disease, it is crucial to spread awareness of this condition since, according to prior surveys, 2 out of 3 people worldwide have little to no knowledge of either dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Many people even believe that this illness is a natural aspect of becoming older, which is untrue.

Alzheimer’s disease progresses through seven stages:
stage 1 : asymptomatic,
stage 2 : a very slight deterioration,
stage 3 : mild downturn,
stage 4 : moderate decline,
stage 5 : fairly severe decline,
stage 6 : severe decline, and
stage 7 : a very severe decline.

Given the severity of the condition, it is imperative that individuals comprehend it and promote candour in conversation about dementia.

Although a cure for dementia is needed, one may help by individualised dementia care, offering lifetime medical treatment, encouragement for family members, safeguarding those who have it with prompt trust, early identification to improve a patient’s state, dialogue, destigmatization, addressing the needs of the patient and community first.

World Alzheimer’s Month brings together individuals with dementia, their family members and caregivers, healthcare and medical experts, academics and scientists, entrepreneurs and developers, the press, and more from all over the world.

Each year includes a primary message or theme that can be utilised to educate the public, challenge preconceived notions, or promote awareness about dementia. Worldwide Alzheimer’s and dementia organisations have the chance in September to build their reputations and legitimacy for the good work they perform, strengthening their ability to sway opinion leaders and governments.

A powerful message about dementia being a significant health concern and one of the major medical and social welfare catastrophes of our century is sent to governments and central banks by having a worldwide synchronised awareness Month and Day. As the global population ages, dementia has had and will continue to have major effects on services and health systems all around the world.

We have been confined to a world where love and support are only to be given by the household, which is unquestionably incorrect; we need to make sure we are the revolution that would make the world a wonderful place to live for everyone regardless of their sickness or situation. On this Alzheimer’s Day, let’s all make sure we are more attentive about ourselves and the people around us to assist each other grow collectively.
