Chennai September 24, 2017:<\/strong>\u00a0Imagine 10,000 runners from South India run for one cause across multiple venues in Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mangalore. That\u2019s just what happened on\u00a024th<\/sup>\u00a0September<\/strong>.\u00a0 The Forum Mall introduced\u00a0The Purple Run<\/strong>, a signature campaign that will throw light on Alzheimer\u2019s. At a time when mental health is ignored and mental illness is looked down upon, The Forum wants to beat the stigma attached with Alzheimer\u2019s as most cases in India go undiagnosed and hence, untreated.<\/p>\n

ABOUT ALZHEIMER\u2019S<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever since Alzheimer\u2019s was first recorded in 1906, the disease has eluded many researchers and scientists for over a century. Alzheimer\u2019s is perceived as the most common form of dementia that affects a person\u2019s mind and \u00a0degrades their basic brain functioning such as memory; cognitive abilities like thinking, behaviour and day to day activities and leads to eventual death by shrinking of the brain over time. According to NIMHANS, in the early stages of dementia, brain image scans may be normal however in later stages, an MRI may show a decrease in the size of different areas of the brain. There has been no definitive prevention or cure. Early identification and treatment could help slowing down the progression of this disease. According to a research conducted by ARDSI, over 6 million Indians are affected by some forms of dementia and by 2020 we may have over close to 20 million.<\/p>\n

Although there is no cure for the disease itself, it helps when people stand together to support affected people and families. Only through awareness can we accept and understand victims and their families.<\/p>\n
