Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mild neurocognitive disorder refers to a decline in cognitive function that is not severe enough to be diagnosed as major neurocognitive disorder (previously known as dementia). Concerns about the decline are not sufficient for a diagnosis, there must be evidence of actual decline in cognitive function. It was first introduced in the DSM-5, not the DSM-IV-TR. It is not a new name for a mood disorder.
