Economics evidence can support better decision making. But there are challenges moving from evidence to better policy and practice. That’s what @GloW_hk & I discuss here https://t.co/BPWgcBIGhD plus possible work-arounds. Part of @STRiDEDementia special issue in @DementiaJournal

For some people with dementia, stigma can be as bad as the condition itself, in the @STRiDEDementia project we have created an evidence-based anti-dementia toolkit to help us stop dementia stigma #DontForgetImHuman

#Stigma against people living with #dementia is a huge problem worldwide. @STRiDEDementia has developed a toolkit to support anti-stigma actions globally, with real life stories of lives of people living with dementia. Check it out here https://t.co/CUYJ2hFs9u

[Paola Barbarino @PaolaBarbarino]

On #WorldMentalHealthDay please spare a thought for all people living with #dementia and their family carers for which mental health issues following a diagnosis are all too common. If you can, do something nice, give a hug, ring, have a chat with someone who may be affected.

[ADI @AlzDisInt]

All forms of stigma & discrimination, whether directed at people living with #dementia or other mental health conditions, is unacceptable & must end.

This #WMHD2022, read The Lancet Commission's 'Ending stigma and discrimination in mental health': https://t.co/MwLCxRgpPb

The warning signs of #dementia vary by the type of disease; however, there are 10 general warning signs, especially for #Alzheimers, that you can look out for.

[ADI @AlzDisInt]

Caring is an important & often undervalued role.

More must be done to ensure that carers are able to carry on with their responsibilities without sacrificing their financial, social & mental wellbeing.

Access to support following a diagnosis of #dementia is not equal across the world & in many countries is often non-existent.

On #WorldAlzDay, we call for post-diagnosis care, treatment & support for people with dementia to be recognised as a human right: https://t.co/VC0qKZ9hEK

[Paola Barbarino @PaolaBarbarino]

Today is #WorldAlzheimersDay it is extremely important that world leaders recognise the huge stigma that still surrounds #alzheimers and #dementia at the highest level. We need more action as soon as possible to improve the lives of people living with dementia and their families

[ADI @AlzDisInt]

Though there is currently no cure for #dementia, there are a number of things one can do to help lower their risk, including regular exercise & partaking in social activities.

During #WorldAlzMonth, #KnowDementia & #KnowAlzheimers modifiable risk factors: https://t.co/sGdekfKkFI

[Paola Barbarino @PaolaBarbarino]

Social isolation is considered one of the 12 #riskfactors for #dementia and #alzheimers. Much isolation has to do with stigma, loneliness and the way our society works. #dementiafrienliness and support groups are two possible solutions. Go to https://t.co/aXz6FYgDKR for more info
