Become Involved in Research
Perhaps the real tragedy in dementia is that it is regarded as a natural part of aging. Therefore, it does not receive the attention of medical researchers and research funds the way “more important” diseases such a cancers receive. This is a shame because many more people suffer from types of preventable and treatable dementia or dementia-seeming symptoms than the big scary diseases that strike unexpectedly. It’s simply a misunderstanding when old age is involved, as if it can neglected because it’s a “natural” part of aging.
Consider donating money to organizations that study the causes of dementia or otherwise understanding how dementia works. Another popular way to raise funds is to participate in community athletic events, asking for sponsorships to raise awareness for dementia research. Hosting cultural events or activities is also a fun way to raise funds that can go towards research.
Other ways of being involved in research is volunteering as test subjects in clinical trials. This is available for all parts of dementia-related issues, whether as patients, carers, former carers, or relatives of patients. There is an infinite number of ways to be involved in research, and it is well worth the effort to take advantage of such opportunities because the sooner dementia is defeated, the more likely it may not be an issue to be dealt with personally.
