On this National Caregivers Day, let's take a moment to acknowledge the invaluable care and support that family caregivers provide to their loved ones living with dementia. Unfortunately, misconceptions and stigma surrounding Alzheimer's disease remain prevalent, even among highly educated healthcare professionals. By improving our understanding of AD, we can reduce stigma and improve outcomes for both people living with AD and their caregivers. Let's work together to break down these barriers and provide better care for those in need. #NationalCaregiversDay #AlzheimersKnowledge #AlzheimersAwareness # Stigma
