Article Synopsis
- The study examined how cognitive specialists diagnose and manage functional cognitive disorder (FCD) compared to neurodegenerative diseases, using clinical vignettes for assessment.
- Forty-five experts from 12 countries effectively distinguished between FCD and neurodegeneration, accurately diagnosing all neurodegenerative cases, but only 75%-88% of FCD cases were correctly classified due to varied terminology.
- The findings highlight the need for improved agreement on FCD terminology and more research into validation and diagnostic tools, while suggesting that management strategies should include diagnostic communication and referrals for psychotherapy.
Purpose Of Review: This review presents a critical appraisal of current therapeutic strategies for patients with post-stroke depression (PSD). We present the reader with the most recent evidence to support pharmacological, psychosocial, and neuromodulation interventions in PSD. We also discuss the relevance of using antidepressants and psychotherapy to prevent PSD and discuss evidence that antidepressant treatment may reduce mortality after stroke.

Objective: We offered guidance on the role of structural and functional neuroimaging modalities for the general psychiatrist and for trainees in the clinical setting.
Methods: We outlined the utility of neuroimaging modalities in the clinical setting, specifically with a view to understanding the pathophysiology of manifestations of disease.
Results: Both structural and functional neuroimaging modalities have a clear role in diagnostic evaluation in the spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders.
