NEUROCOGNITIVE DISORDER (NCD)
• NCD category encompasses the group of disorder in
which the primary clinical deficit is in cognitive
function & that are acquired rather than
developmental.
• Only disorders whose core features are cognitive are
included in the NCD category.
• NCDs are those in which impaired cognition has not
been present since birth or very early life & thus
represents a decline from a previously attained level
of functioning.

MAJOR OR MILD NCD DUE TO ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
(PAGE 611)
A general term for memory
loss & other intellectual
abilities (learn, reason, make
judgements & communicate)
serious enough to interfere
with daily life
11. 11
Diagnostic Criteria (page 611)
A. The criteria are met for major or mild NCD
B. There is insidious onset & gradual progression of impairment in
one or more cognitive domains (for major NCD at least 2
domains must be impaired)
C. Criteria are met for either probable or possible Alzheimer’s
disease as follows:
Major NCD: Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed if either of the
following is present; otherwise possible Alzheimer’s disease
should be diagnosed.
12. 12
Diagnostic Criteria (page 611)
Minor NCD:
•Probable Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed if there is evidence of a
causative Alzheimer’s disease genetic mutation from either genetic
testing or family history.
•Possible Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed if there is no evidence
of a causative Alzheimer’s disease genetic mutation from either
genetic testing or family history & all 3 of the following are
present:
1. Clear evidence of decline in memory & learning
2. Steadily progressive, gradual decline in cognition without
extended plateaus
13. 13
Diagnostic Criteria (page 611)
3. No evidence of mixed etiology (i.e absence of other NCD or
cerebrovascular disease, or another neuroligical or systemic
disease or condition likely contributing to cognitive decline)
D. The disturbance is not better explained by cerebrovascular
disease, another neurodegenerative disease, the effects of a
substance, another mental, neurological or systematic disorder
14. 14
Diagnostic Features (page 612)
1. Beyond the NCD syndrome (A)
2. Insidious onset & gradual progression of
cognitive & behavioral symptoms (B)
3. A level of diagnostic certainty must be
specified denoting Alzheimer’s disease as
the ‘probable’ or ‘possible’ etiology. (C)
4. If the etiology appears mixed, mild NCD due
to multiple etiologies should be diagnosed.
In any case for both, the clinical features
must not suggest another primary etiology
for the NCD (D)
15. 15
Associated Features Supporting Diagnosis (page 612)
1. Approximately 80% of individuals with major NCD due to
Alzheimer’s disease have behavioral & psychological
manifestations.
2. Distressing than cognitive manifestations & are frequently the
reasons that health care is sought.
3. Mild NCD- depression or apathy are often seen
4. Major NCD- psychotic features, irritability, agitation,
combativeness & wandering are common.

Dr Rahimah berkata,
walaupun penyakit itu
dikesan sejak lebih 100
tahun lalu, tetapi
kebanyakan penyelidikan
masih belum menemui
penawar mujarab melawan
penyakit itu.
Biarpun penyakit itu
dikaitkan dengan penuaan,
tetapi saintis percaya ia
'bukan sebahagian daripada
proses penuaan normal'
kerana bukan semua warga
emas menghidapinya.https://www.bharian.com.my/node/83365
25. • Ia membabitkan kehilangan 'kemerosotan neuron di
dalam otak', iaitu di lingkungan terbabit dalam daya
ingatan, bahasa, kognitif iaitu hipotalamus, frontal
dan temporal lobes di korteks cerebal. Fungsi saraf
otak kompleks dan progresif semakin menurun
memberi kesan pelupa.
• Beliau berkata, di Malaysia, istilah warga emas
digunakan dalam kalangan penduduk berumur 60
tahun ke atas
25
26. • Katanya, banci tahun 2010 menunjukkan Malaysia
mempunyai hampir 2.2 juta atau tujuh peratus warga
emas.
• Kumpulan umur ini dijangka akan terus meningkat
setiap tahun, malah negara ini diunjur akan menjadi
sebagai 'negara tua' menjelang tahun 2030, iaitu
apabila peratusan warga emasnya mencecah 15
peratus.

Parkinson`s Disease
A neurocognitive disorder that involves
degeneration of neurons in the
subcortical structures that control
motor movements.
At rest, hands, ankles, or head may
shake involuntarily
loss or impairment of the power of
voluntary movement (Akinesia) :
Muscular rigidity, difficulty initiating
movement.
31. 31
diagnostic features
The essential feature of major or mild neurocognitive
disorder (NCD) due to Parkinson`s disease is cognitive
decline following the onset of Parkinson`s disease.
The disturbance must occur in the setting of established
Parkinson`s disease ( Criterion B)
Deficits must have developed gradually ( Criteria)
The NCD is considered possibly due to Parkinson`s disease
either when there is no evidence of another disorder that
might be contributing to the cognitive decline
33. 33
Bradykinesia: General slowing of motor
activity
~ Loss of fine motor coordination
~ Slowed, shuffling gait
~ Difficulty starting or stopping
movement like walking
~ Signs of cognitive deterioration
~ Expressionless and speech becomes
stilted
Many cognitive functions, such as
attention, concentration, and
immediate memory, remain intact.
36. DEVELOPMENT AND COURSE
Parkinson`s disease
typically between the 6 and
9 decade of life.
Most expression in the
early 60s.
Mild NCD often develops
relatively early in the course
of Parkinson`s disease,
whereas major impairment
typically does not occur
until late.

37. TREATMENT PARKINSON`S
37
No known treatment can stop or reverse the breakdown of nerve cells
that causes Parkinson's disease. But there are many treatments that can
help your symptoms and improve your quality of life :
Medicine
(such as
levodopa and
dopamine
agonists)
Physical therapy
(improve your
walking and
reduce your risk
of falling)
Home treatment
(regular exercise
and eating a
healthy diet.)
Treatment for
mental problems
Speech
therapy
