November is Alzheimer's Awareness Month. Every 70 seconds someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's disease, and the number of cases is expected to double every 20 years. This devastating and progressive disease not only affects patients, but also takes a physical toll on the friends and family members who care for them. Caring for a family member or friend with Alzheimer's can be a full time job. If you are caring for someone with Alzheimer's, you are not alone-almost 10 million Americans provide unpaid care for a person with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. In addition to the financial burden this places on friends and family, caregivers often experience profound emotional changes such as feelings of loss and grief.
