It's pretty difficult to say we don't know someone who has been affected by Alzheimer's disease. It's the most common cause of dementia. People who have dementia lose memory and the ability to think.
Alzheimer's and other types of dementias occur due to damage to neurons in the brain that reduce their ability to communicate with other people. Over time, those neurons' death affects memory, learning, mood, behavior, and eventually physical functions, such as walking and swallowing.
Dementia is a term used to name a group of symptoms that severely affect intellectual and social abilities to interfere with daily function.
These three Alzheimer's stages can help you understand what might happen, but it's important to know that these stages are only the early symptoms. This disease will advance over time. Each person might experience different situations with Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's disease begins way before any symptoms become noticeable. This early-stage likely begins 10-15 years before someone has symptoms. Suppose you notice your loved one's cognitive abilities beginning to slip. In that case, that may mean they're entering the second stage of Alzheimer's disease.
The early stages of Alzheimer's can look like normal-aged forgetfulness. People may have memory lapses when it comes to information that is normally easily remembered, such as paying bills, conversations or appointments.
However, these memory issues become more frequent. You will notice this before your loved one does, and you may be able to get the treatment sooner to slow the progression.
This stage will show you noticeable changes for many, and it will become harder to blame age. This mild dementia stage is when almost everyone is diagnosed because this is when a person's daily routine becomes impacted.
