June is Alzheimerâs and Brain Awareness Month. Posted on June 10, 2015. June is Alzheimerâs & Brain Awareness month to raise awareness and support those living with Alzheimerâs and other forms of dementia. According to the Alzheimerâs Association, over 47 million people worldwide are living with dementia.
Alzheimerâs disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimerâs, symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. Alzheimerâs disease is the most common cause of dementia among older adults. The disease is named after Dr. Alois Alzheimer. In 1906, Dr. Alzheimer noticed changes in the brain tissue of a woman who had died of an unusual mental illness.
