A global call to raise awareness, foster understanding, and support those impacted by Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Why It Matters
Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurological condition that affects memory, thinking, and reasoning. It is not a part of normal aging and severely disrupts daily life as it progresses.
Global Impact
Over 55 million people worldwide are living with dementia, with Alzheimer’s being the leading cause. This number is expected to rise to nearly 139 million by 2050.
Daily Struggles
Families affected by Alzheimer’s face more than memory loss. They deal with emotional strain, financial stress, and the overwhelming responsibility of care.
Signs to Watch For
Memory lapses, confusion about time or place, difficulty solving problems, changes in mood, and trouble speaking may all be signs of Alzheimer’s.
The Theme for 2025
Ask About Dementia. Ask About Alzheimer’s! This theme encourages open conversations and early detection by asking questions without fear or stigma.
Why Conversations Matter
Talking about symptoms can lead to earlier diagnoses, better care, and stronger support networks. Breaking the silence is the first step to understanding.
Global Efforts
From awareness walks and medical check ups to seminars and community events, the world unites every year to raise awareness and support families.
Our Shared Responsibility
Whether you are a caregiver, healthcare worker, policymaker, or friend, your role in spreading awareness and compassion matters.
Ending Stigma Together
World Alzheimer’s Day 2025 invites everyone to be part of the conversation. Let’s ask, listen, learn, and care—together.
