There is currently no cure for Alzheimers Disease (AD). Consequently, alleviating the symptoms of AD and delaying symptom progression, are meaningful therapeutic goals. This useful presentation answers the question of how to set meaningful treatment goals for a patient with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) while also covering symptomatic and disease-modifying treatments, current approaches to AD management and psychosocial interventions.

This slide deck has been developed in collaboration with the former Lundbeck International Neuroscience Foundation.
