Psychiatric News (7/21) reports, “Older patients with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (MDD) are more likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia than their peers who respond to treatment, according to a study.” But, “compared with older patients who do not have MDD, the risk of dementia is higher for those with MDD regardless of how well their depression responds to treatment.” The findings were published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.
