Apathy is characterized by loss of motivation, decreased
initiative, and emotional blunting. It is highly prevalent in
neurological, and psychiatric disorders like Alzheimer's disease,
traumatic brain injury, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease,
Huntington's disease, cerebrovascular disorders, and mild
behavioural impairment. It has negative outcomes including
impairments in activities of daily living, caregiver burden, and
higher rates of institutionalization and mortality. The definition
of apathy has changed over the years alongside the development of
diagnostic criteria and apathy scales and measurements. Apathy is
emerging as a treatment target with interest in pharmacological,
non-pharmacological, and neuromodulatory treatments for apathy.
There is also an increased understanding of the neurobiology of
apathy with functional and structural neuroimaging research
studies. This book is a comprehensive, in-depth review from experts
in neurology and psychiatry. It reviews the current state of apathy
in these various disorders while also summarizing apathy diagnostic
criteria, scales and measurements, neuropathology, and treatments.
