✅ June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month

Worldwide, more than 55 million people are living with Alzheimer's or another dementia, and two-thirds of Americans have at least one major potential risk factor for dementia. Science shows that adopting healthy habits — like getting exercise and good quality sleep — may reduce the risk of cognitive decline.

Check out these recommendations from the USF Health Libraries’ Graphic Medicine collection:

📚 “Tangles: A Story About Alzheimer's, My Mother, and Me” by Sarah Leavitt
Tangles confronts the complexity of Alzheimer’s disease, and ultimately releases a knot of memories and dreams to reveal a bond between a mother and a daughter that will never come apart.

📚 “Aliceheimer’s: Alzheimer’s Through the Looking Glass” by Dana Walrath
“Alice was always beautiful―Armenian immigrant beautiful, with thick, curly black hair, olive skin, and big dark eyes,” writes Dana Walrath. Alice also has Alzheimer’s, and while she can remember all the songs from The Music Man, she can no longer attend to the basics of caring for herself. Alice moves to live with her daughter, Dana, in Vermont, and the story begins.
