Alzheimer's disease begins its work long before anyone notices, quietly dismantling the architecture of memory and selfhood from within. Progressing through five stages — from a silent preclinical phase to severe dementia — it erases not just recollection but judgment, identity, and finally the body's most basic functions. The disease reminds us how fragile the self is, and how much of who we are depends on the continuity of a mind we rarely think to protect until it is already slipping away.

Households face escalating out-of-pocket expenses for diagnosis, treatment, and care as disease progresses. Families experience reduced earning capacity due to caregiving responsibilities, impacting household income and savings. Increased demand for long-term care services drives up insurance premiums and care costs.
Governments may need to expand Medicare/Medicaid coverage for early detection and treatment. Healthcare systems require investment in diagnostic infrastructure and specialist training.
