What is Dementia? Dementia is a term used to describe a group of brain diseases which result in the progressive impairment of brain function. Symptoms may include loss of memory, confusion, language difficulties, difficulties performing routine tasks and personality or mood changes. Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common cause of dementia and accounts for 50-60% of cases. The disease progressively destroys nerve cells disrupting the transmitters that carry messages in the brain. Vascular Dementia and Lewy Body Disease are two other common causes accounting for some 15-20% each. In Malta, it is estimated that there are currently more than 8000 people with dementia, not including all the family members affected by this. Since the number of people living longer lives is increasing, the number of people with dementia is expected to double over the next twenty years. Further details on the prevalence of dementia in the Maltese Islands can be found in this Maltese Medical Journal Article. There is currently no cure for dementia. As the disease progresses, those affected are unable to care for themselves and will require assistance in activities of daily life. Drug treatments are now available to treat some of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Much can be done to help the person with dementia to enjoy and get the most of their life. Carers and relatives of persons with dementia need to be well informed about the condition and helped to learn new skills to be able to succeed in their important mission. Our helpline is 99451625.

Today, our Speech-Language Pathologist, Nicola Montesin, delivered a presentation at the Alzheimer Europe Public Affairs Meeting, sharing the campaigns and communication initiatives being carried out by the Malta Dementia Society as part of World Alzheimer’s Month.
It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the work being done locally, while also learning about the inspiring campaigns and initiatives taking place across Europe.

Sharing ideas, experiences and good practices helps us strengthen our collective efforts to raise awareness, challenge stigma and promote a more dementia-inclusive society.

We’re absolutely overwhelmed by the huge turnout at today’s Communic-Aid session!

Together with our speech therapist Nicola, people living with dementia and their carers came together to reminisce about traditional Maltese feasts and celebrations, sharing memories, stories and experiences along the way.

Through reminiscence-based activities, Nicola used familiar traditions and cultural memories to elicit language, encourage conversation and promote communication.

Participants even discovered il-Gawgaw, an old Maltese superstition connected to people born around Christmas time, giving everyone the opportunity to learn, remember and share some of Malta’s fascinating traditions and beliefs.

It was wonderful to see so many people connecting, remembering, learning and enjoying themselves together.

Our next Communic-Aid session in October will explore the theme of childhood memories- a chance to travel back in time and share those special memories. Don’t forget that attendance is by booking only on [email protected] or by calling 9945 1625
