title: Psychiatrists and Alzheimer's disease.
abstract: Psychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer's disease are not specific: anxiety, agitation, depression, memory disorders, mental confusion. Of these disorders, depression is the most accessible of these to pharmacological treatment; agitation, however, raises the institutional problem. Throughout the inexorable evolution of the disease, the psychiatrist has to pay attention to the global situation: medical, social and legal.
