Abstract
This chapter focuses on the case of Mr. B, a 72yearold male who presents with anxietyrelated concerns, primarily revolving around financial matters. His anxiety has led to compulsive behaviors, including triplechecking accounting and saving receipts. While Mr. B attributes some of his symptoms to loneliness, there are emerging cognitive issues, including memory lapses and repetition of stories. Recognizing anxiety and its relationship to cognitive decline is crucial in assessing Mr. B’s condition. Given his age and symptoms, the possibility of a neurocognitive disorder should be considered. The chapter emphasizes the importance of comprehensive evaluation, including interviews with caregivers, cognitive and functional assessments, and medical workup. Lateonset anxiety is commonly associated with neurocognitive disorders in older adults. Anxiety can worsen cognitive decline and functional impairment, and the two often coexist. The treatment of anxiety in neurocognitive disorders involves a combination of pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions, tailored to the patient’s specific context.
