In the approaching years, there will be significant growth in the senior population. This shift in patient demographics may create a burden on the healthcare system, practically and fiscally. It will be increasingly important for clinicians to have an understanding of the cognitive changes associated with normal aging versus dementias. This course reviews the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, with a focus on etiology, prevalence, and assessment. Differential diagnosis of other reversible conditions that mimic dementia such as depression and delirium is also reviewed. The treatment options available for patients with various forms of dementia are presented, an especially important topic as the field is changing quickly and many patients, and their caregivers, are unaware of these emerging developments.
