Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month: Understanding Cognitive Decline and Taking Action
In addition to PTSD Awareness Month, June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month—a meaningful time to raise awareness about brain health, memory loss, and the importance of early detection in cognitive decline. At Alleviant, we’re committed to helping individuals and families navigate cognitive changes with compassion, clarity, and a comprehensive care approach.
Whether you're concerned about your memory or caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or related conditions, this month serves as a powerful reminder: brain health matters, and the time to take action is now.
What Is Cognitive Decline?
Cognitive decline refers to a gradual loss of mental functions—such as memory, focus, language, and decision-making. While some changes are a normal part of aging, others may signal more serious concerns, like:
Alzheimer’s disease
Vascular or other forms of dementia
Recognizing the difference between typical aging and early signs of decline is critical. Common symptoms to watch for include:
Forgetting important dates or frequently misplacing items
Difficulty following conversations or instructions
Disorientation or confusion in familiar places
Changes in mood, personality, or judgment
Trouble completing everyday tasks
Why Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month Matters
This month is more than symbolic—it’s an opportunity to empower individuals and caregivers with education, resources, and encouragement. Early detection is key. The earlier you identify changes in brain function, the more options you have to maintain quality of life and slow progression.
During Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, we encourage you to:
Monitor your memory and attention over time
Seek professional cognitive assessments if changes are noticed
Make brain-healthy lifestyle choices (diet, movement, sleep, mental engagement)
Advocate for loved ones who may be hesitant to seek help
Break the stigma surrounding memory loss and dementia
Alleviant’s Integrative Approach to Cognitive Health
At Alleviant, we don’t just manage symptoms—we work to understand and address the root causes of cognitive decline. Our comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans are designed to optimize long-term brain function and overall well-being.
Our services include:
Neurological and psychiatric assessments
Pharmacogenetic testing to tailor medications to your biology
Spravato® for treatment-resistant depression and cognitive symptoms
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) to improve brain connectivity
Functional medicine to assess underlying contributors like inflammation, nutrition, and hormone balance
Lifestyle coaching and mindfulness strategies to support the whole person
Whether you are newly noticing symptoms or are already managing a diagnosis like Alzheimer’s or MCI, you deserve a treatment plan that sees the full picture—not just the diagnosis.
You Are Not Alone And You Are Not Without Options
Cognitive decline can be overwhelming, but it is not the end of the story. With early intervention, integrative care, and ongoing support, many patients and caregivers find new hope and strength.
This June, let’s come together to promote awareness, encourage early action, and honor the strength of those navigating cognitive changes.
