Diagnosis information
Core diagnostic criteria, specifiers, differential considerations, and documentation support in one open, scan-friendly view.
All criteria are shown. No expand controls or hidden sections.
Core criterion A
Criteria met for major or mild NCD
Core criterion B
Insidious onset and gradual progression; ≥1 of: behavioural-variant features (disinhibition, apathy, loss of empathy, perseverative behaviour, hyperorality) or language-variant features (speech/comprehension/word-retrieval deficits)
Core criterion C
Relative sparing of learning/memory and perceptual-motor function
Core criterion D
Disturbance not better explained by cerebrovascular disease, another NCD, another mental disorder, or substances
Consistent with [Frontotemporal Neurocognitive Disorder] [specifier(s)]. Since a gradual onset with progressive decline, there have been impairments in executive functioning; impairments in social cognition; impairments in language; impairments in attention; impairments in learning and memory; impairments in perceptual-motor abilities, forming a pattern meeting the threshold for a neurocognitive disorder due to frontotemporal degeneration. The presentation is further characterised by insidious progression with either prominent behavioural-variant features - disinhibition; apathy; loss of empathy; perseverative or compulsive behaviours; hyperorality; dietary change - or prominent language-variant features such as impaired speech production; impaired word comprehension; impaired naming; impaired grammar, consistent with frontotemporal pathology. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant impairment in social, interpersonal, occupational, or adaptive functioning.
