Description

It is well known that impaired cognition becomes more prevalent with aging and affects more than a third of those over the age of 85. Differentiating normal aging from pathological cognitive decline is of paramount significance for early intervention, developing a plan of care and guiding families.In Clinical Manual of Alzheimer Disease and Other Dementias, practicing psychiatrists and neurologists address neuropsychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of various clinical neuropsychiatric conditions, including Alzheimer disease and traumatic brain injury, in a highly readable format. Drawing on the detailed coverage of diagnostic and treatment approaches in The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Alzheimer Disease and Other Dementias, Clinical Manual of Alzheimer Disease and Other Dementias is an essential and highly readable clinical management guide for busy clinicians.
