  • Title: Depression in dementia of the Alzheimer type and in multi-infarct dementia.
    Author: Fischer P, Simanyi M, Danielczyk W.
    Journal: Am J Psychiatry; 1990 Nov; 147(11):1484-7. PubMed ID: 2221160.
    Abstract:
    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.
