  • World Alzheimer's Day

    Why is 9/21 World Alzheimer's Day? On September 21, 1994, the 10th International Conference of the Alzheimer's Association was held in Edinburgh, Scotland, and it is said that this day, the first day of the conference, became "World Alzheimer's Day". The author of this book, Christine Borden, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 1995 at the age of 46. Prior to her illness, she was the Prime Minister, Department of Cabinet and Assistant Secretary of State for the Australian Government. There are many books on dementia written by researchers from the outside, but it is a very rare book that tells us about the world from the perspective of the person. Many dementia patients are elderly and it may be difficult to analyze and write about themselves that their brains cannot process well, but I think this book is because she was a 46-year-old person with younger-onset dementia and an exceptionally high level of intelligence. In October 2001, at an international conference in New Zealand, she spoke out that she had dementia and was not blind to anything, and that she was still alive with pain, sorrow, and love. From there, the way society perceives and thinks about people with dementia will change. Her activities continue to this day. It is one of the books that you should definitely read on World Alzhei-Made. Language This page has been automatically translated. Please note that it may differ from the original contents.
