June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month

June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a time to focus on brain health and support people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory disorders.

Alzheimer’s disease affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It can make everyday tasks harder over time, not just for patients, but also for families and caregivers. While memory loss can happen as we age, Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging. Learning the signs early can help people get the care and support they need sooner.

Awareness helps start important conversations. It encourages early evaluation, better planning, and ongoing research to improve treatment options and quality of life.

At Neurology Consultants of Nebraska, we work with patients and families to evaluate memory concerns, provide clear answers, and guide next steps with care and respect. Brain health matters at every stage of life.

To learn more about Alzheimer’s disease, warning signs, and support resources, visit www.alz.org.

For information about our neurology services or to contact our team, visit www.nebraskaneurology.com.

This month is a reminder to care for your brain and support those facing memory loss with understanding and compassion.

World Multiple Sclerosis Day – May 30

May 30 is World Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Day, a global day focused on raising awareness and supporting people living with MS.

Multiple sclerosis is a neurological condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. It can cause symptoms like fatigue, numbness, vision problems, balance issues, and changes in thinking or mood. MS looks different for every person, which can make it hard to understand from the outside.

World MS Day is a reminder that education and support matter. Learning the facts helps reduce confusion and stigma, and it encourages earlier diagnosis and better care. It also brings attention to the need for continued research and treatment options.

At Neurology Consultants of Nebraska, we care for patients living with MS at all stages of their journey. Our team focuses on managing symptoms, monitoring changes, and helping patients maintain the best possible quality of life.

To learn more about multiple sclerosis and World MS Day, visit www.worldmsday.org.

For information about our neurology services or to contact our team, visit www.nebraskaneurology.com.

Today, we stand with the MS community and support those living with this condition every day.

May is Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month

May is Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness and support for individuals and families affected by this condition.

Huntington’s disease is a genetic neurological disorder that affects the brain. It can cause changes in movement, thinking, and mood over time. Symptoms often begin in adulthood and can slowly worsen, making daily life more challenging for both patients and caregivers.

Awareness is important because Huntington’s disease is often misunderstood. Learning more helps families feel less alone and supports continued research, education, and care options.

At Neurology Consultants of Nebraska, we provide ongoing care for patients with complex neurological conditions, including Huntington’s disease. Our team focuses on symptom management, education, and helping patients and families navigate care with compassion and support.

Epilepsy Awareness Day – March 26 (Purple Day)

March 26 is Epilepsy Awareness Day, also known as Purple Day. This day is dedicated to raising awareness, sharing facts, and showing support for people living with epilepsy.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain and causes recurring seizures. It affects people of all ages and backgrounds.

Awareness helps reduce stigma and encourages understanding and support.

Rare Disease Day – February 28, 2026

Rare Disease Day is recognized every year to raise awareness for people living with rare conditions and the families who support them. This year, Rare Disease Day takes place on February 28, 2026, with the message “More Than You Can Imagine.”

A rare disease is one that affects a small number of people, but together, rare diseases impact millions worldwide. Many of these conditions affect the brain and nervous system, making early diagnosis, education, and specialized care especially important.

At Neurology Consultants of Nebraska, we care for patients with both common and rare neurological conditions. We believe awareness matters. When people understand rare diseases, it leads to better support, stronger research efforts, and improved care for those affected.
