Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia, accounting for around 6 in 10 cases in the UK.
It affects memory, reasoning and daily life over time — but dementia and Alzheimer’s aren’t the same thing. Dementia is the umbrella term, while Alzheimer’s is one type within it.
🧠 Common early signs include forgetfulness, confusion, mood changes and difficulty with familiar tasks.
👵 Over 900,000 people in the UK are living with dementia today, a number set to rise to 1.6 million by 2040.
Raising awareness is the first step to understanding and supporting those living with the condition 💚
