Description

In this episode:

  • At this point in time, we do not have effective disease-modifying agents for Alzheimer’s disease
  • Referral for accurate and early diagnosis is essential rather than waiting for a clinical diagnosis with more advanced disease
  • Management of behaviour issues should be non-pharmacological if possible
  • If absolutely necessary, low dose risperidone may help but monitor; try to wean off the agent when possible
  • Future diagnosis of AD will be based on biomarker identification such as amyloid or Tau PET and CSF analysis

 

Host: Dr David Lim, GP and Medical Educator
