Apathy has been increasingly recognized as a neuropsychiatric symptom in many neurologic disorders. In this paper, we review the clinical features of apathy in Alzheimer's disease. We also review screening, the differential diagnosis including depression, medical illnesses, and mild cognitive impairment, and treating modalities and issues. It must also be recognized that apathy per se almost never occurs as an isolated syndrome, so it must be viewed in the context of an individual's entire behavioral and cognitive status.
冷漠已越来越多地被视为许多神经系统疾病中的一种神经精神症状。在本文中，我们回顾了阿尔茨海默病中冷漠的临床特征。我们还回顾了筛查、鉴别诊断（包括抑郁症、躯体疾病和轻度认知障碍）以及治疗方式和相关问题。还必须认识到，冷漠本身几乎从不作为一种孤立的综合征出现，因此必须在个体的整体行为和认知状态背景下看待它。
