| Annotation | The National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, which developed this guideline, is a partnership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCP) and the British Psychological Society (BPS). The guideline makes specific recommendations on Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia with Lewy body (DLB), frontotemporal dementia, vascular dementia and mixed dementia, as well as recommendations that apply to all types of dementia. Although the evidence base for dementia in Parkinson's disease was not examined specifically in the context of this guideline, the recommendations for DLB may be useful. This guideline includes recommendations from NICE Technology appraisal 111 on acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and memantine for Alzheimer's disease, for which see (http://www.nice.org.uk/TA111).
