World Alzheimer’s Day is observed on 21 September every year to raise awareness and challenge the stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
Did you know, some people with dementia cannot control their emotions, and as a result, their personalities may change?
👀 In this new episode of Yes to Health, we invited Dr Rachel Cheong, a Consultant from KTPH’s Department of Geriatric Medicine, to address some of the most commonly searched questions about dementia.
Remember, knowledge is power, and understanding can make a world of difference. 💜
