Alzheimer's Dementia

DAVID PUDER, M.D.
About this episode

Alzheimer's disease is a devastating neurodegenerative condition that affects the entire family. As psychiatrists and psychologists, we often support these patients and their families throughout this entire disease process. With the recent and controversial FDA approval of aducanumab (Aduhelm™), a new pharmacotherapy for Alzheimer's disease, we can expect to be asked about this drug from our patients and their family.
