    AbstractNeurocognitive disorders create important challenges for patients, their families, and clinicians who provide their health care. Early/timely detection in daily clinical practice allows for diagnosis and adequate treatment, psychosocial support, education, and engagement in shared decision-making related to health care, life planning, involvement in research, and financial matters. However, neurocognitive disorders, when present, are not detected or not diagnosed and not documented, in more than half of patients seen by primary care physicians. The aim of this paper is to highlight the strategies and the perspectives to improve the early/timely detection of neurocognitive disorders in daily clinical practice.
