| Annotation | The online themed collection of 15 papers recently published provides an update on the advances of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions in dementia over the last 15 years. The published studies reflect the efficacy of the current anti-dementia treatments, preventive treatments of cardio and cerebrovascular incidents (known to be risk factors for dementia). The studies also reflect on the use of antidepressant medication and non-pharmacological interventions for treatment of behavioural and psychopathological symptoms of dementia. The authors also address the future preventative steps and therapeutic strategies currently in development to combat the devastating consequences of dementia. (RH) |
