| Annotation | Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive condition associated with a broad variety of clinical symptoms, falling within three primary categories: cognitive, functional and behavioural (disturbance) symptoms. All these categories may potentially respond to specific behavioural intervention approaches to treatment and management. However, few have been convincingly substantiated to be effective in treating any of the symptoms in any of these categories. Progress will depend on the verification and dissemination of current models of disease progression; the development and use of measures that can track the entire course of the disease; and the identification of improved technologies for measuring functional, behavioural or cognitive disturbances in AD.
