Understanding Isolation and the Misconceptions Surrounding Alzheimer's

Changing the misconceptions

Much of the damage that is accompanied by Alzheimer’s disease is psychological and cognition-related. By supporting a change in the attitude of the general public using education and sensitization for both healthcare professionals and members of the society, this will help in sculpting a better mental atmosphere for many people who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. In addition to creating a more dementia-accommodating society, encouraging patients to engage in many activities that will better the quality of life and making efforts to reduce the misconceptions surrounding the disease will significantly aid in combating isolation and depression that is common in most patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
