A Statement by the Alzheimer's Association Regarding the Suicide of Alzheimer Patient Janet Adkins

handle is hein.journals/ilmed7 and id is 397 raw text is: A Statement by the Alzheimer's Association Regarding the Suicide of Alzheimer Patient Janet Adkins We are very saddened by the tragic case of Janet Adkins. We believe that hers was a very personal decision; however we also must affirm the right to dignity and life for every Alzheimer patient, and cannot condone suicide. It is tragic that she chose to take her life. We want others in her situation to know that there are services and programs available to assist patients and families in coping with Alzheimer's disease and we en- courage them to seek professional help. We also suggest that they contact the National Office of the Alzheimer's Association (1/800-621-0379, in Illinois 1/800-572-6037) to request educational materials about Alzheimer's disease and for referral to one of our local Chapters. These Chapters can direct them to family support groups and available community services. Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Assoc. Inc. 70 E. Lake Street, Suite 600, Chicago, IL 60601
