Welcome!

Each week we search the internet for the latest news stories on Alzheimer's disease and other dementia causing conditions, so that we can share this knowledge with other people dealing with these diseases. We do this for free, simply because we know how it feels to search the web for hours, looking for some hope, understanding or helpful information.

Navigating this website:

If you're reading this you have come to our home page, but this website is made up of many pages, full of information on Alzheimer's disease and other dementia causing conditions.

First up, on the left hand side of the web page, you will see our channel chooser panel. If you are here looking for the latest news on Alzheimer's disease and dementias, just click on your favourite news provider button to view all of the latest news from that entity.

As we know that sometimes too much information is not necessarily a good thing, each week we also do a 'Top Stories' summary on our dNews page. That page also has a comments facility so you can discuss the news with other visitors to the website. You can also chat live about the website or dementia in general with our wibiya bar chat function found at the bottom right of your screen, just click on the 'Join Chat' button and follow the prompts.

Then,  at the top of the website, we have our menu bar and some colourful link buttons, which can also be found at the bottom of the page too if you scroll down.

If the menu item or button topic interests you, click on it to learn more. The little 'd' is for dementia, so dBooks, dVideo, dCommunity etc, means the linked page is about dementia books, dementia videos and the dementia community and so on.

At the bottom right of your screen, you can also log into our     
chat function if you have a facebook, myspace, twitter or yahoo account. Or you can check out more dVideos posted from our YouTube channel.

At the bottom left of the screen is a donate button for those that like the site and want to help keep it going, and you can also show that you like the site by clicking on the 'Like' button, you can view who is online at the moment and see where in the world our visitors come from, and last but not least you can see what pages are popular on the website.

Finally, on the right hand side of the screen, we have ads from   
sponsors of dDN. Their sponsorship keeps the website alive.

Get it? Got it? Good! That's dDN in a nutshell, our hope is that our work here makes life a little easier for the millions of people across the world who are currently touched by dementia.

We also understand how valuable research time is for medical students, and hope our Alzheimer's disease and Dementia news is valuable to pre-med, nursing, health care administration degree students and more.

Enjoy surfing the site, and come back often!
