title: [Dementia and depression].
abstract: It is not always a simple task to differentiate between pseudo-dementia as a manifestation of depression, a dementia in an early stage of its development, or a 'hybrid' of both forms in the (very)aged. Treatment with anti-depressant agents in sufficient dosage and individually adjusted care can often yield astonishing results. Examples are provided.
