What is Lewyho tělísky. about?

Depression and dementia Dementia and depression are common neuropsychiatric symptoms in the elderly population. Depression is a recognized risk factor for developing depression and depressive symptoms accompany a fully-developed dementia syndrome. The particular types of neurodegenerative diseases manifested by dementia are characterized by varying rates of depression. Depressive symptomatology has been described most commonly in Alzheimer’s disease; however, it also occurs early in vascular depression or Huntington’s disease. The differential diagnosis of dementia must always distinguish pseudodementia, i.e. a condition manifested as dementia but caused by severe depressive symptomatology. To treat depression in diseases manifested by dementia, SSRI agents are most commonly used; antidepressants with anticholinergic effects are absolutely inappropriate. The effect of antidepressive medication in dementia patients is discussed.
