September is World Alzheimer’s Month. The purpose of this campaign is to raise awareness and challenge the stigma that surrounds dementia.
Some of the symptoms of this brain disease include:
- slowed thinking
- occasional or persistent memory problems
- disorientation
- unexpected mood and behavior changes
- confusion about events, time and place
- difficulty speaking, swallowing and walking
Both GCT President, Dr. Jeffrey Apter and CEO, Dr. Eugene Selivra are trained psychiatrists with 50+ years of combined experience in clinical research. Dr. Apter is a KOL in Alzheimer’s Disease.

Patients with Alzheimer’s disease may find it hard to recognize the problem. Nevertheless, we can assist through raising awareness.
