Neurocognitive (Dementia & ADHD), evaluation and treatment

Dementia & ADHD is generally characterized by memory loss that occurs in combination with impairment of other cognitive functions (e.g., behavior, personality changes, social functioning and/or the inability to perform activities of daily living).

We assist in evaluation and diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders as the process requires a thorough history, physical and neurological examination to rule out other causes of similar presentations.

The number of potentially reversible Dementia & ADHDs is small, but management of these disorders as well as those that benefit from maintenance therapy is improved if identified and treated appropriately. Pharmacological treatment involves the use of specialized medications such as anticholinesterases and glutamate antagonists, in combination with lifestyle modification.
