Consultation-Liaison (CL) Psychiatrists are frequently consulted on patients with Major Neurocognitive Disorders (MNCDs, DSM-5), formerly known as dementia. The questions usually posed include determination of decisional making capacity, management of delirium superimposed on MNCD, diagnosing the etiology of and assisting with the management of behavioral and psychiatric symptoms (e.g., mood, psychotic or behavioral symptoms) due to MNCD.
