Dementia will be one of the most prevalent diseases to Thai society in the near future because it is more common with increasing age. The proportion and number of Thai senior citizen are increasing rapidly. People with dementia have problems with psychomental health and physical health. Apart from the decline in their memory and other brain function, they also had behavioral and psychological symptoms and impairment in their daily activities. Although this disease still can’t be cured, the sufficient health promotion and lifestyle changes can prevent its occurrence in around one-third of the at-risk population.
The main objective of this project is to educate people to have more knowledge towards the symptoms and impact on people affected and their family. The risk and protective factors are identified to prevent the condition. The project also aims to make good attitude and reduce the stigma of dementia in community. We aim to create a dementia-friendly environment to help people live well with dementia and remain a part of their community. This would make people with dementia being understood and receiving respect for their dignity as a person who has created goodness in the society which ultimately has a good quality of life even when the disease is severe.
