Emotional Distress Following Amyloid PET Disclosure: A Preliminary Analysis Across Cognitive Spectrum
These preliminary findings suggest that the disclosure of amyloid PET results does not result in discernible differences in the level of emotional distress among cognitively symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals. This contributes to our understanding of the emotional impact of amyloid PET disclosures and may have implications for counseling and support strategies in the context of Alzheimer's disease research and clinical settings. Further investigation with a larger sample size is recommended to validate these findings.
