Dr. George Grossberg, Henry and Amelia Nasrallah Endowed Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Neuroscience at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, past president of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry, and past president of the International Psychogeriatric Association, orients us to behavioral disturbances in patients with neurocognitive disorders.

We walk through common behavioral disturbances in patients with dementia, including apathy, depression, psychosis, and agitation. We discuss management strategies including nonpharmacological and pharmacological interventions. Dr. Grossberg shares his expertise on difficult clinical management decisions when working with this population, and centers us around the importance of knowing the patient as well as the disease.
