November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month
Building Awareness for Alzheimer’s and
Recognizing Family Caregivers this Novem-
ber
A growing epidemic in the United States
and the world, Alzheimer’s disease affects
one in three seniors over the age of 65. In
1983 Ronald Reagan designated November
as National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness
Month. In the past 32 years the numbers of
those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease
has increased by over three million Ameri-
cans. The drive to increase awareness in-
cludes work to help fund research into the
disease, possible treatments, and care.
Alzheimer’s disease was discovered in 1906
after Dr. Alois Alzheimer noticed changes in
brain tissue of a woman who had died of
what was then diagnosed as an unusual
mental illness. Here we are nearly 110 years
later and Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth
leading cause of death in the United States
and still does not have a cure. Though a
larger problem than ever before, we do
know a lot more about Alzheimer’s than we
did one hundred years ago, partially due to
the increased of awareness of the disease.
The impact on those who experience the
symptoms of memory loss and Alzheimer’s
disease is great and includes frustrating sit-
uations for the diagnosed. The impact does
not end at those who have been diagnosed
however, but includes family and loved
ones who often take over as caregiver. Over
the past year the Alzheimer’s Association
estimates that nearly 17.9 billion hours of
unpaid care were provided by friends and
family of people with Alzheimer’s and other
dementias.
Rightfully so, National Alzheimer’s Disease
Awareness Month coincides with National
Family Caregiver’s Month which is a time to
recognize the role of family members and
loved ones who take on the responsibilities
of caregiver.
