Alzheimer's Disease Has Four Separate Stages:
1. Early symptoms. This stage is pre-clinical, meaning your loved one probably has not received a diagnosis or even sought a medical opinion on their condition. They might be prone to forgetfulness, but not feel any symptoms that are out of the ordinary.
2. Mild symptoms. At this stage, forgetfulness is more prominent; your loved one begins to lose things frequently or forgets dates and locations. If your loved one is showing these symptoms, ask their doctor for help. This mild stage of Alzheimer's often lasts around two years.
3. Moderate symptoms. Your loved one needs help with everyday tasks, making independent living difficult. They are experiencing changes in behavior, like increased anxiety or irritability, and struggle to recall people and events.
4. Severe symptoms. At this stage, your loved one requires assistance with all their daily needs. They have difficulty speaking and expressing themselves. Their memory loss is prominent, and they require additional emotional and mental health assistance.
