[Psychopharmacological therapy in dementia].
The psychopharmacological approach plays an important role in dementia. In this illness several studies have been carried out, using neuroleptics and other drugs such as anxiolytics and hypnotics, lithium, beta-adrenergic blockers, antiepileptics and antidepressants. Results obtained, not always uniform, are still limited pointing out the need of new and more available trials.
