[Treatment of depression in the elderly. The use of psychostimulants].

M Arcand1, P Hottin.   

Abstract

Classical treatment of depression in the elderly is often complicated by side effects and delayed therapeutic effect. After reviewing the literature and their clinical experiences, the authors suggest several acceptable indications for the use of psychostimulants in the elderly, especially when the depression is associated with a serious physical illness.
