Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia that affects memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms may eventually grow severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. Over 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, and the disease further impacts families, caregivers and communities.

This month, commit to learning more about brain health and knowing the warning signs of dementia. Keep in mind that Alzheimer’s is a brain disease and not a normal part of aging. There is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s, but there are some ways to support brain health, such as lifestyle habits and challenging your mind through learning or games, which can help reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Talk to your doctor to learn more about brain health and early warning signs.
