Raising Awareness for Alzheimer’s and How to Detect It

Every September, the world comes together to raise awareness and challenge the stigma that persists around dementia and its most common form: Alzheimer’s. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than 6 million people are living with the disease in the U.S. and over 500,000 in Canada. Alzheimer’s is a degenerative brain disease with its causes not fully known, affecting memory, thinking and behavior.
