If we focus on diagnostics, data-sharing, and bold innovation, we can drastically reduce the impact of Alzheimer’s — and we need your help. As @mariashriver says, “big thinkers are welcomed to this fight.” #WorldAlzheimersDay https://t.co/mrcZrkgOsX

We asked people, “If you could give one message to other people who have suicidal thoughts or attempts, what would it be?” This was one of their responses.

Major new review paper: The 2 faces of aging. One represents an increase in morbidity and mortality and decline in independence/autonomy. The other face represents improved mental health, happiness, & wisdom. This work reconciles both

If we in healthcare consistently remind ourselves that NO ONE CHOOSES SUFFERING we can transform our cynicism into compassion & unconditional empathy.

Language matters! Remember to say "person with schizophrenia" rather than "schizophrenic person."
Schizophrenia is an illness, not an identity. #SupportSZ #CMHA100 #NSPAD18

[Samir Sinha @DrSamirSinha]

An amazing privilege to meet two leading Danish geriatricians today - who as the CEO (@Peder_Jest) and Chief of Geriatrics have transformed Svendborg's @OUHhospital into Denmark's leading Elder and Dementia Friendly Hospitals! Looking forward to much future working together!

[Samir Sinha @DrSamirSinha]

SMILE :-) "PARO" therapeutic robot seals - are not just great for patients with dementia - but for geriatricians in need of an opportunity to slow down and relax for a moment as well!

[The AFTD @AFTDHope]

Not all types of dementia present as memory loss in the elderly. Researchers from @Sydney_Uni explain that bvFTD is known for having an earlier onset with initial symptoms that often include changes in personality and behavior: https://t.co/L6FfC33TzF #ThinkFTD #FTD #dementia

[Dementia Centre @dementiacentre]

If a person with dementia is admitted to hospital, make sure the water jug is in line of sight (& reach) to prompt them to drink. If water jug is clear, add a coloured cordial to make it easier to see. This can reduce dehydration which can lead to delirium https://t.co/ZCkD7bpFpl
