Depression in dementia of the Alzheimer type and in multi-infarct dementia
P Fischer, M Simanyi and W Danielczyk
Neurological Department, Geriatric Hospital Vienna-Lainz, Austria.
The authors used the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and a rating of
depressed mood to investigate the prevalence of depression in 55 patients
with Alzheimer's disease, 37 patients with multi-infarct dementia, and 30
nondemented comparison subjects. The prevalence of depressed mood depended
on the severity of dementia as measured by the Mini-Mental State
examination and was significantly lower among patients in more severe
stages of Alzheimer's disease but not among patients with severe
multi-infarct dementia.
