The 7 Stages of Alzheimer's Disease
The recorded progress of Alzhimer’s disease through different functional stages can act as a guide for caregivers to look after patients that have Alzhimer’s disease. Dr. Reisberg developed the Functional Assessment Staging (FAST) scale under seven major heads covering the progressive loss of functional abilities.
The 7 Different Stages of Alzheimer's Disease are -
1. At this stage, you are a normal adult and have a perfect memory and functional ability – no apparent symptoms or signs.
2. At the next stage, they show certain disabilities in their normal functioning, like being unable to recollect known names of family members or places. This is often attributed to be a normal characteristic of old age.
3. The third stage gives a clear indication of A.D. setting in. They are unable to locate their house or other familiar surroundings, get lost easily, cannot concentrate on anything, can’t remember recent events or names, have a sudden drop in performance levels at workplace and misplace things or even lose them without realizing it.
4. They progress to a more serious stage of the disease and cannot function alone. They need help with even simple financial transactions, cannot travel alone or even concentrate on anything. They develop marked changes in their behavior and mood patterns, and shy away from any sort of difficult situation.
5. Further inabilities develop during this stage of Alzhimer’s disease. They need help even for deciding what to wear. Although they may remember their family members and other associated information, they do not remember any recent events, names or other such information.
6. This is a severe stage of Alzhimer’s disease. They need help in everything, even for bathing and toileting - with normal bowel and urinary functions. They undergo severe personality changes with aggressive and anxious behavior, which could also become violent at times.
7. This stage shows the most severe characteristics of Alzhimer’s disease. They are unable to speak properly and it is difficult to understand what they do say. Simple functions like walking, standing, sitting or sleeping are beyond their control. Their brain cannot monitor any of their physical actions.
Although Alzhimer’s disease immobilizes them, caregivers should try to identify what an Alzhimer’s patient can do successfully and encourage those activities to lifts their patients’ spirits.
