Abstract:
When are confusion and forgetfulness transient signs of normal aging, when are they signs of depression or a medical illness, and when are they signs of dementia? The authors describe clinical features and diagnostic studies that help establish the presence of dementia and discuss ways of coping with both remediable and less treatable types.
