According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 50 million people worldwide have dementia today. By 2050, this number is expected to surpass 131 million.

In most cases, dementia is connected to Alzheimer's disease.

Unfortunately, its symptoms often go unnoticed until they become too severe to treat. If left untreated, Alzheimer's disease (AD) can eventually result in death, but early detection and treatment could help prevent or slow down the progression of this awful disease.

Although depression is not a normal situation for the elderly, it is quite common. It affects roughly 20% of the elderly population, a rate twice as high as the general population (10%).
