It\u2019s a common misconception that dementia is a condition in itself. In reality, it\u2019s a collection of symptoms caused by certain underlying conditions. Although people use the words Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia interchangeably, their meanings are different.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dementia, whether early-onset (developing before age 65) or late-onset (developing after age 65), can arise from a range of underlying conditions, including:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People with Alzheimer&#8217;s having plaques (clumps of the beta-amyloid protein) and tangles in their brains<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Huntington\u2019s<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parkinson\u2019s<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Damage to the vessels that supply blood to the brain<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breakdown of nerve cells<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traumatic brain injuries<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other rare conditions<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These conditions damage cells in various areas of the brain and affect how it works, leading to memory loss and other cognitive and behavioral issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>Types of Dementia Symptoms<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most common type of dementia<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Alzheimer\u2019s affects over six million Americans. While the specific symptoms of that condition and other kinds of dementia vary depending on the underlying cause, the main symptoms include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memory loss<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty with language and communication<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impaired judgment and decision-making<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/blog\/what-can-trigger-dementia\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes in mood and behavior<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you or someone you know is experiencing memory loss or other signs of dementia, it&#8217;s best to talk to a healthcare professional. Early diagnosis and treatment can help slow subsequent stage progression and improve outcomes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no known cure for most types of dementia, but specialized treatments and activities manage symptoms and improve quality of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>What are the stages of dementia<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two main ways to categorize Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia. Let\u2019s start with the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most common type of dementia<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>The 7 Stages Of Alzheimer\u2019s<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also known as The Global Deterioration Scale, the 7 Stages of Alzheimer\u2019s covers functioning and cognitive decline for this form of dementia:<\/span><\/p><h4><strong>Stage 1: No Cognitive Decline<\/strong><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no symptoms of dementia or other forms of cognitive decline. Individuals exhibit typical behaviors and perform daily activities independently.<\/span><\/p><h4><strong>Stage 2: Very Mild Cognitive Decline<\/strong><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">early stage of dementia,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> individuals may show mild forgetfulness. Remembering recent events or conversations may be difficult, but they retain most cognitive abilities. Minor deficits in reasoning skills may also become apparent.<\/span><\/p><h4><strong>Stage 3: Mild Cognitive Decline<\/strong><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concentration and understanding abstract concepts become increasingly difficult during Stage Three. There are significant memory lapses, like forgetting what they ate for dinner. They may also need help with complex tasks like balancing checkbooks.<\/span><\/p><h4><strong>Stage 4: Moderate Cognitive Decline<\/strong><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this stage, individuals need help with basic tasks like dressing themselves and may display confusion when presented with new information. Memory loss further increases, and they cannot recall recent events or personal life stories without prompts from caregivers.<\/span><\/p><h4><strong>Stage 5: Moderately Severe Cognitive Decline<\/strong><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stage five is considered middle-stage dementia. It represents a substantial decrease in functioning, and individuals often require assistance with self-care, such as bathing, eating, and grooming. Many display intense confusion when confronted with new stimuli. Memory loss worsens significantly during this stage, and communication becomes increasingly difficult.<\/span><\/p><h4><strong>Stage 6: Severe Alzheimer\u2019s<\/strong><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the sixth stage of Alzheimer\u2019s, memory becomes increasingly impaired, making it impossible for the individual to recognize family or recall personal information. Symptoms increase rapidly:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hallucinations<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anxiety and frustration<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mobility loss<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Severe personality changes<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h4><strong>Stage 7: Late Stage<\/strong><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">last stage of dementia<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> find it difficult to participate in basic daily activities in any capacity\u2014all tasks require round-the-clock assistance. They are increasingly vulnerable to pneumonia, other infections, and the possibility of eventual hospice care.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arabella of Longview provides much-needed assistance for those with severe memory loss when loved ones require full-time, 24-hour care.<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>The FAST Scale for Dementia<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developed by Dr. Barry Reisberg, the FAST scale assesses the degree of cognitive impairment in people with dementia. It also divides dementia into seven stages, from normal functional ability to severe cognitive decline.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAST assesses one\u2019s level of functioning and capability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs). It focuses more on that than stages of cognitive decline. The assessment offers a standardized method of evaluating functional decline so healthcare professionals and caregivers can anticipate needs and provide appropriate support.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each stage evaluates:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ability to perform everyday tasks<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activities of daily living<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Language skills<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memory and memory loss<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mobility levels<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social behavior<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your loved one\u2019s medical provider can advise you about these tests and provide a staging and diagnosis.
