Highly sensitive early-onset Alzheimer's disease: a case report

The patient with highly sensitive EOAD was followed for 6 years by a psychologist specializing in neuropsychology and high sensitivity. Neuropsychological intervention was maintained with a holistic and integrative person-centered approach using the unmet needs model to address cognitive, psychological, and functional levels. Follow-up with this approach could be key to slowing the disease and ensuring patient satisfaction throughout the entire progression of the illness. Greater visibility into unusual cases like this will enable psychology professionals to be vigilant for timely differential and diagnostic testing, which will significantly impact the treatment and progression of the illness, ultimately influencing quality of life and well-being through an optimal neuropsychological approach.
