Two in three people think that dementia is linked to normal ageing when, in fact, it is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that interferes with a person’s ability to function and do everyday activities.
“While there is no cure for dementia at the moment, early diagnosis and treatment can help people manage their symptoms for longer and better plan for their future,” says Beech. World Alzheimer’s Day is held annually on September 21 to raise awareness about the disease and offer support to those affected by it. This year’s theme, ‘Never too early, never too late’, is centred around risk factors and risk reduction.“With someone in the world developing dementia every three seconds, knowing the risk factors and the difference between dementia and normal ageing is crucial,” says Beech.
