Overview
Discovery
Although the concept of dementia goes as far back as the ancient Greek and Roman philosophers and physicians,[1] it was in 1901 when Alöis Alzheimer, a German psychiatrist, identified the first case of what became known as Alzheimer's disease in a fifty-year-old woman he called Auguste D. Alöis Alzheimer followed her until she died in 1906, when he first reported the case publicly.[2] In the following five years, eleven similar cases were reported in the medical literature, some of them already using the term Alzheimer's disease.[1] The official consideration of the disease as a distinctive entity is attributed to Emil Kraepelin, who included Alzheimer’s disease or presenile dementia as a subtype of senile dementia in the eighth edition of his Textbook of Psychiatry, published in 1910.[3]
