Neurobehavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms are highly prevalent among individuals diagnosed with cognitive impairment or dementia and impact the quality of life for patients and caregivers alike. Diagnosis and management of these conditions (including primarily depression, anxiety, apathy, psychosis, agitation, and aggression) is crucial to optimal patient care outcomes in clinical practice. The present article provides a practical review of diagnostic approaches and management strategies for behavioral and neuropsychiatric disorders arising in patients with cognitive impairment, up to and including dementia.
