PY - 2022 T2 - First Aid for theĀ® Psychiatry Clerkship, 6th Edition AB - The neurocognitive disorders (NCDs) comprise a group of conditions defined by decline from a previous level of cognitive functioning. The six cognitive domains that may be affected include complex attention, executive function, learning and memory, language, perceptual-motor skills, and social cognition (interaction). By definition, cause(s) for the deficits may be ascertained from findings on history, physical exam, and diagnostic testing. The DSM-5 divides the NCDs into three main categories: delirium, mild NCDs, and major NCDs (dementias).
