Is there social stigma attached to Alzheimer’s?
Research has shown that rather than being driven by the label of “Alzheimer’s Disease,” perceptions of stigma are driven by the concern that the patient’s condition will worsen over time. This suggests that while the label may have a certain stigmatizing element, what is behind that label is the prospect that the condition is going to get worse,.. and that’s what leads to the stigmatization of individuals with Alzheimer’s.
