What are the stages of dementia? In this video, Debra goes over the seven stages model of dementia to help you better understand the condition you or your person will be facing. This model is taken from the Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) and can be used to estimate life expectancy and when life functions will diminish. It is important to understand that the GDS model is fluid and people may flow between or be in multiple stages at once. It is also important to note that deterioration begins years or even decades prior to the onset of symptoms. This portion of the disease spread is the pre-dementia stage and covers stages 1-3 on the GDS scale. Stages 4-7 are the dementia stages and are generally when cognitive impairment becomes debilitating. Each stage is listed below:

Stage 1 - No cognitive decline
Stage 2 - Very mild cognitive decline or age-associated memory impairment (AAMI)
Stage 3 - Mild cognitive decline or mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
Stage 4 - Early dementia or moderate cognitive decline
Stage 5 - Moderately severe cognitive decline
Stage 6 - Severe cognitive decline
Stage 7 - Very severe cognitive decline
