Alzheimer's Awareness Month

November is National Adoption Awareness Month, Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, National Alzheimer's Awareness Month, American Diabetes Awareness Month, and National Family Caregivers Month

The one that stands out the most for me is Alzheimer's. It's a scary thing to experience with a loved one. Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life and accounts for 50 to 70 percent of dementia cases. Alzheimer's has no current cure but there is a worldwide effort under way to find better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset, and prevent it from developing.

I am an health educator so I am going to try and incorporate more public health awareness issues with my posts.
