(Dementia is a general term to describe the symptoms of mental decline that accompany Alzheimer's and other brain diseases.) The stages are separated into three categories: mild Alzheimer's disease, moderate Alzheimer's disease and severe Alzheimer's disease.

The average age at the onset of dementia is around 80 years. Early-onset dementia is defined arbitrarily (and variably) as occurring before 60-65.

The behavioural changes seen as vascular dementia progresses, such as irritability and agitation, are also similar to those of Alzheimer's disease. Delusions, and less often hallucinations, are also seen. The late stage of vascular dementia is largely as described above for Alzheimer's disease.

For most people with Alzheimer's—those who have the late-onset variety—symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. Signs of early-onset Alzheimer's begin between a person's 30s and mid-60s. The first symptoms of Alzheimer's vary from person to person.

The most common types of dementia – Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal dementia – are all progressive. This means that the structure and chemistry of the brain become increasingly damaged over time.
