Abstract

In this chapter, an initial exploration of the definition and symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders will be conducted along with an in-depth analysis of their underlying neurobiological basis, shedding light on their manifestation in the brain. The central focus will then shift towards comprehending and addressing the specific social cognitive deficits associated with different types of NDs and examining the challenges posed in the realm of social cognition. Strategies and interventions specifically designed for social cognitive rehabilitation will be investigated. The chapter will encompass a discussion on the caregiver burden and effective coping strategies to alleviate the stresses faced. The primary objective of this chapter is to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the intricate nature of social cognitive deficits in neurodegenerative disorders and equip them with practical tools aimed at enhancing social cognition and improving the quality of life for individuals affected by these complex conditions.
