Leichte kognitive Beeinträchtigung bei älteren depressiven Patienten

Abstract: Zusammenfassung: Bei älteren depressiven Patienten bestehen gelegentlich kognitive Beeinträchtigungen vom Ausmaß einer Demenz. Dieses dementielle Syndrom bildet sich bei einem Teil der Patienten mit dem Abklingen der Depression zurück, stellt aber einen Risikofaktor für die Entwicklung einer irreversiblen Demenz dar.
