Memory and cognition
- Cognitive Decline, Dementia and Memory Concerns
Cognitive decline ranges from normal aging to mild cognitive impairment to dementia, and depression, medications and medical conditions often mimic it. Evaluation includes cognitive testing, screening for depression and reversible causes, and coordination with neurology. Treatment addresses mood, sleep and behavioral symptoms with careful medication choices, supports caregivers, and includes cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine for Alzheimer's disease. - Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia
Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia include agitation, aggression, psychosis, depression, apathy and sleep disturbance and affect up to 90 percent of people with dementia. Treatment starts with finding triggers such as pain or infection and coaching caregivers; medication is reserved for dangerous or distressing symptoms. Brexpiprazole is the only FDA-approved drug for agitation in Alzheimer's dementia.
