Stage 1 to Stage 5
Stages 1 to 5 describe the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Stage 1 is no impairment, with no noticeable symptoms. Stage 2 involves very mild forgetfulness, often overlooked. In Stage 3, individuals may experience mild cognitive decline affecting work or social activities. Stage 4 is moderate decline, where problems become more apparent, and daily tasks may be challenging. Stage 5 is severe cognitive decline, requiring assistance with daily activities, and individuals may struggle with memory, reasoning, and recognizing loved ones. These stages help healthcare providers assess disease progression and plan appropriate care.
