| Annotation | This book focuses on current clinical issues relating to the aetiology and management of the dementias and functional disorders of old age. The book is divided into five sections, the first three of which deal with the dementias - including Alzheimer's disease - their risk factors, and clinical and pathological features. The section on treatment and prognosis of affective disorders includes chapters on depression, antidepressants, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and behavioural therapy. The final section looks at cross-cultural issues and functional disorders, such as phobic and anxiety disorders, paranoid states and senile squalor. |
