Busan Bumin Hospital (Director Choi Chang-hwa) will hold a health class with the theme, “Dementia is easy to catch but hard to cure, early prevention is the answer!” At 2:00 PM on the 12th, the hospital’s main auditorium (basement 2).
Dementia, which is rapidly increasing as we enter a super-aging society, does not simply cause memory loss, but affects all cognitive functions, making daily life itself difficult. That is why early detection and prevention, as well as appropriate management according to the progress, are important.
However, dementia is a disease whose progression can be slowed down if detected early and preventive measures are taken. However, many people do not have enough information about dementia or overlook the early symptoms, thus missing the timing for treatment.
In response, Busan Bumin Hospital Director Hyun Hong-dae (Psychiatry Department) said, “We will provide correct information, from misconceptions about dementia to dementia diagnosis and management, and things that families need to know in advance.” In particular, we will provide information on lifestyle habits and treatment methods that can prevent dementia.
