June is recognized as Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month, a period dedicated to raising awareness about Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, and promoting brain health. This month-long initiative aims to educate the public, support those affected, and encourage proactive steps to maintain optimal brain health.
According to the CDC, the top-five working signs for Alzheimer’s are as follows:
1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life: forgetting events, repeating yourself or relying on more aids to help you remember (like sticky notes or reminders).
2. Challenges in planning or solving problems: having trouble paying bills or cooking recipes you have used for years.
3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work, or at leisure: having problems with cooking, driving places, using a cell phone or shopping.
4. Confusion with time or place: having trouble understanding an event that is happening later or losing track of dates.
5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relations: having more difficulty with balance or judging distance, tripping over things at home, or spilling or dropping things more often.
