Neurocognitive Disorder Management

Meaning

Neurocognitive Disorder Management is the multidisciplinary clinical strategy aimed at mitigating the symptoms, slowing the progression, and improving the quality of life for individuals suffering from conditions that impair cognitive function, such as Alzheimer’s disease or vascular dementia. This management approach integrates pharmacological interventions, lifestyle modifications, cognitive rehabilitation, and psychosocial support. A core component of pharmacological management often involves agents that support or enhance the compromised neurotransmitter systems, particularly the cholinergic pathway.
