title: [Comprehensive therapy of cerebral and cerebrovascular decompensation (author's transl)].
abstract: Many psychiatric syndroms in older age are based on cerebral and cerebrovascular decompensation. Diagnosis of metabolic dysfunction or vascular dysregulation--leading to cerebral decompensation--and their therapy is of greater importance than immediate therapy of psychiatric syndroms. We use Strophantin therapy, hemodilation, stabilization of blood pressure, antidiabetics combined with mild sedation by low dose neuroleptics. After achieving metabolic and cerebrovascular equilibrium we start more or less specific psychiatric syndrom therapy like antidepressants.
