Alzheimer’s Disease:

When a family member is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or other Dementia, the effect on your entire family can be overwhelming. The diagnosis can trigger a range of emotions — including anger, fear, frustration and sadness. There also are many decisions to make about treatment, care, living arrangements, finances and end-of-life care. 

A progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions.
Brain cell connections and the cells themselves degenerate and die, eventually destroying memory and other important mental functions. Memory loss and confusion are the main symptoms.
No cure exists, but medications and management strategies may temporarily improve symptoms.

THE PROGRESSION OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) results in progressive changes to the brain, cognitive function, and eventually to everyday activities.1

Stages of AD

AD is a slowly progressing, irreversible neurodegenerative brain disease with a long preclinical phase (up to 20 years) and an average clinical duration of 8 to 10 years. The progression of AD is accompanied by changes to the brain that serve as biomarkers of the disease.1,2

Disease progression typically spans several stages. These stages include preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease dementia varying from mild to severe.1

AD is a burden for patients, caregivers, and the healthcare system.
