 +====== Major Neurocognitive Disorder ======
  
 +===== Diagnostic Criteria =====
 +<WRAP group>
 +<WRAP half column>
 +==== Criterion A ====
 +Evidence of **//​significant//​** cognitive decline from a previous level of performance in one or more cognitive domains (complex attention, executive function, learning and memory, language, perceptual-motor,​ or social cognition) based on:
 +  - Concern of the individual, a knowledgeable informant, or the clinician that there has been a significant decline in cognitive function; and
 +  - A substantial impairment in cognitive performance,​ preferably documented by standardized neuropsychological testing or, in its absence, another quantified clinical assessment.
 +
 +==== Criterion B ====
 +The cognitive deficits **//​interfere with independence in everyday activities//​** (i.e., at a minimum, requiring assistance with complex instrumental activities of daily living such as paying bills or managing medications).
 +
 +==== Criterion C ====
 +The cognitive deficits do not occur exclusively in the context of a delirium.
 +
 +==== Criterion D ====
 +The cognitive deficits are not better explained by another mental disorder (e.g., [[mood:​1-depression:​home|major depressive disorder]], [[psychosis:​schizophrenia-scz|schizophrenia]]).
