| Every year on September 21, World Alzheimer's Day kicks into effect with memory walks, lectures, conferences, training courses, entertainment, and various other events. Aside from educating as many people as possible about the condition, we celebrate this day with the focus of getting closer to a cure for Alzheimers while improving doctors' abilities to recognize the signs of the disease. Alzheimer's is an incurable disease which is the most common form of dementia and is most common among people above the age of 65. The most common early-stage symptom is short-term memory loss. As the disease progresses, later symptoms include long-term memory loss, irritability and aggression, confusion, mood swings, and language breakdown.
