Abstract

<p>The discussion focused on how to deal with dementia caused by neurodegenerative diseases using neuropsychological or neuropsychiatric evidence. Cognitive impairment due to neurodegenerative diseases is essentially progressive. Therefore, the principles of intervention are how to maintain the functions preserved at the time of initial assessment and how to support functions that have begun to decline. On the other hand, unlike cognitive and neurological symptoms, psychiatric symptoms and behavioral abnormalities do not become progressively more severe, but rather worsen or disappear depending on the stage of the disease. In addition, like cognitive impairments, the profile of psychiatric symptoms and behavioral abnormalities differs greatly depending on each disease, but it is important to note that they are susceptible to psychological and social influences, and that biological factors are not necessarily involved.</p>
