Increasing awareness and understanding of Alzheimer’s Disease
The last few years have been exciting in terms of the research and treatment landscape for Alzheimer’s Disease. Encouraging new compounds are being developed and approved to slow the disease’s progression. This is incredible, life-changing news, providing hope that just a few years ago, we could only imagine. At the same time, this condition is affecting more people than ever – a true epidemic - and the number of those affected, those with the disease and their caregivers, will continue to increase. November is National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. This month and throughout the year, while excited about research developments, we must continue to address the complexity of the condition today and keep the utmost attention on providing support to those with Alzheimer’s Disease and their caregivers.
