What are the stages of Alzheimers dementia?
Alzheimer’s disease can take very different courses. It is a slowly unfolding, progressive disease which is accompanied over time by changes in the appearance of the patient. The disease is typically divided into three stages. In medical terms, Alzheimer’s disease is divided into mild, moderate and severe, or early-stage, mid-stage and late-stage Alzheimer. The mild stage is typically characterized by impairments of mental abilities as well as mood swings. In the moderate stage, behavioral disturbances usually increasingly develop, whereas physical problems are dominant in the advanced stage. The individual course of the disease is, however, very variable.
