Dementia is now
‘Neurocognitive Disorder’
(NCD)
Further Defined as ‘Major’ or ‘Minor’
What’s in a name?
Greater phenomenological correctness – especially with the
growing base of literature defining specific aetiologies
Broader term - can include syndromes with only one
cognitive domain affected (e.g. ‘amnestic d/o’)
NCD is often the preferred term in the literature and in
practice – such as in younger individuals or those with TBI
Dementia is ok to still use if it helps communicate the
nature of the illness
Neurocognitive Disorder
Major
Minor
Concern of the
individual, informant or
clinician
Concern of the
individual, informant or
clinician
‘significant’ cognitive
decline – needs IADL
assistance
‘modest’ cognitive decline
– preserved IADLs but
needs compensatory
strategies or
accommodation

another mental disorder

FDA Approved Treatments for
Complications of AD
Behavioral Management
Environmental vs. Medication
meds are a last resort
The “4D Approach”
adapted from
Practical Dementia Care
by Rabins, Lyketsos, and Steele
Our Assumptions:
Behavioral dyscontrol can have multiple etiologies.
They can be distinguished from each other.
Identifying the cause can directly lead to treatment
strategies.
There is rarely “one-best” approach to address
these issues.
Directed “trial and error” is the rule, not the
exception.
The “4D Approach”
Define and Describe
Decode
Devise a treatment plan
Determine “does it work?”
Behavioral Management
Environmental vs. Medication
meds are a last resort
If you chose a medication… Which One?
antipsychotics
typical vs. atypical
benzodiazepine
other
e.g valproate
CATIE-AD
Lon S. Schneider et. Al.
Primary outcome – time to discontinuation for any reason
great “real world” approach to study design
Atypicals were no better “tolerated”
Big media spin after data released:
Known higher mortality per FDA.
Now evidence of “lack of efficacy.”
Therefore, doctors are abusing elderly patients.
Actually, study shows:
Placebo stopped more due the lack of benefit than S.E.
Atypicals stopped more due to S.E. than lack of benefit.
What you (and your patients) should
watch for:
EPS
Torsades de pointes
Dystonia
Postural hypotension
Akathisia
Weight gain
NMS
Agranulocytosis
TD
Glucose Dyscontrol
Cholesterol Dyscontrol
Delirium
Increased risk of all cause
death
What About Anticonvulsants?
Initial trials were promising, but…
Most recent studies show far less benefit if not more
behavioral discontrol
However, can be helpful in some augmenting
strategies or in catastrophic reactions.

Lets Define the Atypicals
Atypical: “Deviating from what is usual or common or to be
expected” – Websters
So, what are Typical Antipsychotics?
Drugs that had high probability of inducing Extrapyramidal Side
Effects (EPS)
EPS ≡ Parkinsonism
via high D2 antagonism
High Potency vs. Low Potency
EPS generally mitigated by anticholinergic activity
exception is risperidone which uses 5HT2 antagonism
Examples:
high: haloperidol, fluphenazine, droperidol, pimozide
low: chlorpromazine, thioridazine,
Lets Define the Atypicals –
not a class created of equals
Clozapine (Clazaril)
Aripiprazole (Abilify)
Risperidone (Risperdal)
Paliperidone (Invega)
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
Asenapine (Saphris)
Quetiapine (Seroquel)
Iloperidone (Fanapt)
Ziprasidone (Geodon)
Lurasidone (Latuda)
Clinical Recepterology
Receptor we antagonize:
What we watch for:

EPS, (+) symptom relief,
hyperprolactinemia
5-HT2a
(-) symptom relief, mitigates
EPS
5-HT2c
Antidepression
α1
Postural hypotension
H1
Weight gain, sedation
M1
Weight gain, sedation, urinary
retention, confusion,
constipation, dry mouth etc…
