In my opinion the Alzheimer’s Society Advertising Campaign The Long Goodbye where those of us with Dementia die again and again and again and again has set us back years in our work to remove the Stigma, Myths and Anxiety surrounding this Condition. It has re-introduced suicidal thoughts post diagnosis due to this cruel Negative Campaign, purely Broadcast on all Media Platforms for Money. The negative messaging goes against everything that the NHS, other Dementia Charities, Health Care and Support Services, Researchers and experts worldwide recommend. The hopes of getting people to come forward for early diagnosis have been set years. It is simply wrong to Solicit Dementia concerns purely for Money, which is why given the huge number of Complaints the Advertising Standards Authority is fast tracking its investigation ASA✔️and Charity Commission for England and Wales are looking into what happening in A Charity @Alzheimer's Society that has abandoned its own compassionate founding principles set out in 1979. This one Ad has set Dementia awareness and mental health back years!

Breaking Down Barriers to Alzheimer's Testing in Underserved Communities In the fight against Alzheimer's disease, we must confront the stark disparities obstructing access to early testing in lower socioeconomic communities. From the financial strain due to inadequate insurance and high testing costs, to the logistical hurdles of sample collection, these barriers are formidable. Furthermore, educational gaps and cultural differences often hinder awareness and understanding of Alzheimer's, contributing to delayed diagnoses and care. To bridge this gap, a concerted effort is needed to expand healthcare access, enhance public education, and ensure culturally competent care. Only through a collaborative, multi-faceted approach can we ensure equitable access to Alzheimer's testing and care, allowing us to move closer to a world where all communities can equally fight this disease. #AlzheimersAwareness
