Medication-Induced Postural Tremor
Fine tremor (usually in the range of 8-12 Hz) occurring during attempts to maintain a posture and developing in association with the use of medication (e.g., lithium, antidepressants, valproate). This tremor is very similar to the tremor seen with anxiety, caffeine, and other stimulants.

For mild neurocognitive disorder:
Probable Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed if there is evidence of a causative Alzheimer’s
disease genetic mutation from either genetic testing or family history.
