Abstract
Dementia is a common problem in middle-aged and elderly adults. Thorough diagnostic evaluation uncovers a significant minority who are suffering from an underlying neuropsychiatric disease amenable to specific medical or surgical therapy. Even in those patients with brain atrophy of unknown cause the physician can offer counseling and environmental manipulation to maximize remaining intellectual capacity.Entities:
