Description:
Neurodegenerative disorders have become increasingly prevalent today and can often be accompanied by dementia and other neuropsychiatric conditions such as psychosis. It is important to be able to differentiate psychosis that is associated with various types of dementia, while this can be challenging to clinicians. However, there are several existing and novel therapeutics that can manage dementia-related psychosis. In this episode, Dr. Andrew Cutler interviews Dr. Laxman Bahroo on the practical strategies for the management of dementia-related psychosis.

Learning Objectives:
