Clinical Considerations in Alzheimer's Disease 
About 1 in 9 adults over the age of 65 has Alzheimer's disease (AD), making it increasingly likely that psychologists who treat older adults will encounter someone with this condition. This presentation aims to help psychologists and trainees become more familiar with the clinical presentation and course of Alzheimer’s disease, including the cognitive and behavioral symptoms these individuals experience. Additionally, this webinar will highlight pertinent mental health considerations and provide education on how to best support patients who either are known to have or suspected to have AD. We will discuss the unique role psychologists play among the broader care team for an individual with AD and how they can be most helpful by improving understanding of the pertinent considerations regarding safety, treatment recommendations, and caregiver support.

1.   Identify the main cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
2.   Describe the behavioral and psychiatric symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
3.   Discuss current methods of diagnosis and treatment.
