Two Antidepressants Given to Dementia Patients Ineffective: Study
Date:7/19/2011

the study's start, according to a journal news release.

Also, while about a quarter of those given placebos experienced adverse reactions as a result of treatment, that figure rose to between 41 percent and 43 percent in the groups given an antidepressant. Such side effects were also more likely to be serious among the antidepressant recipients than among the placebo group.

Dr. Henry Brodaty, an aging and dementia specialist at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and author of an accompanying journal editorial, said the trial "has underscored the need for clinicians to think about creative alternatives to drug treatment for management of depression in people with dementia." It is important to use evidence-based techniques and to work in partnership with family caregivers, he wrote in the news release.
