SUMMARY:Blood Cancer Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:September Is Blood Cancer Awareness Month\nWhat do #Leukaemia\, #Lymphoma\, and #Myeloma have in common? They’re all blood cancers. According to the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Society\, more than 1.5 million people today are living with or in remission from blood cancer. \nBlood cancers are a complex group of diseases. Advances in treatment are helping more people live longer after diagnosis. But more than a third of people with blood cancer live fewer than 5 years after diagnosis. \nBut what are the symptoms? Can a test reveal whether you have blood cancer before you even have symptoms? Who’s at risk and what should you discuss with a doctor? \n#BloodCancerAwarenessMonth exists so that more people will learn the answers to these questions. You can help by sharing facts and information online and in your community\, as well as supporting people who are living with blood cancer. \nSource: September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month: Leukemia\, Lymphoma\, Myeloma (healthline.com)

SUMMARY:National Eczema Week
DESCRIPTION:National Eczema Week is from 12th-19th September this year. \nThe More than “Just an Itch” campaign will highlight the debilitating nature of #Eczema and its profound effect on people’s lives\, shining a light on the mental health impacts of eczema that are so often overlooked. \nA recently conducted online patient survey to better understand how eczema affects people’s emotional\, social and personal well-being\, shockingly showed 91% of respondents said their eczema made them feel self-conscious or embarrassed\, and 83% were envious of those who do not have eczema. Around 4 in 5 respondents thought that eczema reduces patients’ quality of life. \nLiving with eczema can be physically uncomfortable\, but it also takes an emotional toll. The persistent itching\, pain\, and visible appearance of eczema patches can lead to feelings of self-consciousness\, low self-esteem\, and social anxiety. People with eczema may experience frustration\, embarrassment\, along with greater anxiety and depression due to the constant struggle with their skin condition – it really is #MoreThanJustAnItch. \nThrough sharing stories of eczema patients’ experiences\, resilience\, and coping mechanisms\, we can help reduce the stigma associated with the condition and foster an environment of empathy and understanding. We also want to encourage and empower people to open up and share how they really feel about living with this long-term condition. \nSource:  National Eczema Society

SUMMARY:Positive Thinking Day
DESCRIPTION:Its Positive Thinking Day 🙂 \nNegative thinking has a way of sapping away a person’s self-worth and distorting a person’s view of the world. It also has a tendency of poisoning everything in that person that’s good and decent. Fortunately\, that’s a process that can be stopped with a little bit of positive thinking. Positive thinking\, when properly applied with purpose\, can help a person feel better about themselves and can make them feel like the best version of themselves. And that’s why Positive Thinking Day is such an important day. \n  \nThis unofficial holiday falls on the 13th of September and is designed to help everyone replace their negative thinking with more positive thoughts. \n#BeMorePositive #PositiveThinkingDay

SUMMARY:World Alzheimer's Day
DESCRIPTION:Today is #WorldAlzheimersDay. \nIt’s an international awareness day aimed at reducing the stigma around Alzheimer’s and raising awareness of the disease. \nDid you know that while Alzheimer’s Disease is often associated with ageing\, approximately 1-in-20 people with the disease is under the age of 65? \nGlobally\, dementia is one of the biggest challenges we face\, with nearly 50 million people living with dementia worldwide. To tackle this international dementia challenge\, we need to work together and share best practice with one another. \nWhile Alzheimer’s is a far too common disease among older people\, it is not a normal part of the ageing process\, and any signs of memory loss should be taken seriously. There may be no cure for Alzheimer’s\, but it can be treated to reduce some symptoms. \n#AlzheimersAwareness #MentalHealthAwareness #DementiaAwareness \nSource: NHS \n  \nWorld Alzheimer’s Day | Alzheimer’s Society (alzheimers.org.uk)
