Awareness of disease in Alzheimer's disease: what do patients realize about their own condition?

CONCLUSION: Our results underpin that most people with AD were able to provide their own subjective report of their experience of living with a disease. Participants' self-reports demonstrated the differences across domains, and this information may contribute to a better understanding of awareness of disease in AD.
