The Stages of Alzheimer's Disease
Most doctors identify three mainstages of Alzheimer'sdisease -- mild, moderate, and severe. Because each stage of dementia can last for several years or more, it can also be helpful to understand whether your loved one seems to be in the early, middle, or late part of each stage. Changes in memory and other thinking skills are the most reliable way to track someone's progression through dementia, but other symptoms also help to indicate the stage.

A very informative & good article. More research & funding is needed to help prevent or even cure this horrible disease. This is going to be a really big problem in the very near future, as people are now living longer. Thanks for sharing, Julio.
