June marks Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, a crucial time to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and other brain disorders. This month emphasizes early diagnosis, support for affected families, and the importance of funding research to improve care and find solutions.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀:
- Alzheimer’s primarily affects people over 65, impacting memory, judgement, language, and reasoning.
- It accounts for two-thirds of dementia cases worldwide.
- Symptoms start with short-term memory loss, progressing to behavioral changes and communication difficulties.
- Globally, dementia cases are expected to quadruple by 2050.
- Women, especially over 85, are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s than men.
- Neurological diseases like stroke, migraine, and Alzheimer’s cause significant global disability and mortality.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:
- Early detection improves care and quality of life.
- Patients often self-isolate due to symptoms; community support is vital.
- Raising funds helps advance research and support services.
- Encourages adherence to medication and healthy lifestyle choices to reduce risk.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽:
- Wear purple during June to show support.
- Participate in local awareness events on June 20, the longest day of the year.
- Spread the word about prevention: exercise regularly, stay socially active, eat well, avoid smoking, get enough sleep, and engage your brain with reading and games.
- Support organizations working for Alzheimer's research and care.

Let’s unite this June to support those affected by Alzheimer’s and brain diseases. Early awareness saves lives and strengthens communities.
