| Annotation | The association between degree of cognitive impairment and severity of depressive symptoms was examined in a randomly selected community-based sample of older people in a sample of patients referred to the South Manchester Old Age Psychiatry Service. Findings contradict previous reports of less cognitive impairment in demented patients with depressive symptoms. The authors suggest that sample selection bias has contributed to the earlier reports. |
