Delusions, hallucinations and depression in Alzheimer's disease: A biological perspective

Alastair J. Flint, MB, ChB, FRCP(C), FRANZCP

Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Three symptoms complicating Alzheimer's disease - delusions, hallucinations, and depression - are discussed from a biological perspective. Relevant clinical, radiological and pathological data are reviewed and hypotheses are advanced regarding the possible biological mechanisms of these phenomena. In addition, pharmacological and physical treatments of delusions, hallucinations and depression in Alzheimer's disease are discussed. Areas for future research are suggested.
