Document Summary

Often include promoting life-style changes (diet, exercise, activity, etc. ) Neurocognitive disorders differ from other disorders primarily because: John is 72 and has suffered from intermittent anxiety for most of his life. Though he uses medications infrequently, he has a prescription for xanax and will take one occasionally in case of high-anxiety situations. He has been at the same dose (0. 5 mg) since he was in his forties. Could be a reasonable answer if it weren"t for option b. Bad, because the brain sensitizes to benzodiazepines as it ages, making the effective dose much higher. Bad, because the brain de-sensitizes to benzodiazepines as it ages, making the effective dose much lower. Cool, because he got hooked up with xanax. Focused on cognitive testing for the detection of lesion or other source of impairment. Can include intelligence testing and assessment of gaps in achievement and aptitude potential. High focus on assessment cognitive or intelligence.
