In-person workshop: Clinical Features and Management of Dementia

The Wellbeing Clinic for Older Adults

This presentation outlines the neuropsychological symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases that cause dementia. Dr Smith explores changes that can occur in cognition, social cognition, behaviour and mental health as a result of developing a neurodegenerative disease. He also explores how these changes can impact upon decision-making capacity and identifies non-pharmacological strategies and therapies that can be used to manage these symptoms.
