Alzheimers is a progressive disease that causes the brain cells to become damaged and die. This causes memory loss and effects other important brain functions.⠀ ⠀ It can’t be cured but can be managed, so early medical diagnosis is important.⠀ ⠀ Alzheimers is not a normal part of ageing, help us lift the stigma and spread awareness.⠀ ⠀ If you are supporting someone with dementia, we can help.
