1.1 Suffering From Alzheimer’s Disease: Major Neurocognitive Disorder

This video explores current research on the symptoms and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, now listed as a major neurocognitive disorder (formerly known as dementia) in DSM-5. In particular, it focuses on a man with early-onset Alzheimer’s. The video demonstrates features of the disease that distinguish it from general aging, such as tangles and plaques in the brain. As you watch, consider environmental and psychological factors that may play roles in the development and progression of the disease.
