Alzheimer’s Awareness at Early Stages for Better Management
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Understanding its stages can help in early detection, better management, and providing the right support to those affected. Here, we delve into the 7 stages of Alzheimer’s disease and explore the services offered by Saving Your Brain to aid in prevention, management, and recovery.
Stage 1: No Impairment
At this stage, there are no visible symptoms. However, changes are already occurring in the brain. Early detection through advanced brain mapping can identify these changes before symptoms manifest.
Stage 2: Very Mild Decline
This stage involves minor memory lapses, often mistaken for normal aging. Forgetting familiar words or the location of everyday objects may occur. While these signs are subtle, they can be the early indicators of Alzheimer’s.
Stage 3: Mild Decline
Family and friends may begin to notice cognitive issues. Common problems include finding the right word, remembering names, performing social or work tasks, and losing or misplacing valuable objects.
Stage 4: Moderate Decline
At this stage, symptoms become more apparent. Individuals may forget recent events, struggle with complex tasks, and have difficulty performing routine activities like managing finances or planning a dinner.
Stage 5: Moderately Severe Decline
Significant memory gaps emerge, and individuals may need help with day-to-day activities. They might forget personal details such as their address or phone number and become confused about time and place.
Stage 6: Severe Decline
Memory loss worsens, leading to personality changes and extensive assistance with daily activities. Individuals may not remember the names of close family members, experience sleep pattern changes, and need help with basic tasks like dressing and bathing.
Stage 7: Very Severe Decline
In this final stage, individuals lose the ability to respond to their environment, carry on a conversation, and control movement. They may need full-time assistance with personal care and experience severe physical decline.
