The world marks Alzheimer’s Day on September 21 every year to raise awareness about dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

According to the Alzheimer’s and Dementia Organisation Kenya, dementia exhibits a wide range of symptoms associated with a decline in memory, communication, reasoning and judgement severe enough to reduce a person’s ability to perform everyday activities.

It is commonly mistaken as age-related mental decline since the condition starts out slowly and progressively gets worse with time.
