In stage 2, memory and cognitive deficits are worsening. The patient is less able to make sense of a confusing world and makes faulty interpretations resulting in paranoid delusional thinking. The patient in stage 1 does not usually have delusions. The patient in stage 3 often is unable to communicate meaningfully. There is no stage 4 of Alzheimer's disease.
