Apathy is defined as a disorder of motivation. There is wide acknowledgement that apathy is an important behavioral syndrome in Alzheimer's disease and in various neuropsychiatric disorders. In light of recent research and the renewed interest in the correlates and impacts of apathy and in its treatments, it is important to develop criteria for apathy that will be widely accepted, have clear operational steps, and be easy to apply in clinical practice and in research settings. Meeting these needs was the focus for a task force that included members of the European Psychiatric Association, the European Alzheimer's Disease Consortium and experts from Europe, Australia and North America.
冷漠定义为一种动机障碍。人们普遍承认，冷漠是阿尔茨海默病和各种神经精神疾病中的重要行为综合征。鉴于最近的研究以及对冷漠的相关性、影响及其治疗的重新关注，制定广泛接受、具有明确操作步骤且易于在临床实践和研究环境中应用的冷漠标准非常重要。满足这些需求是一个工作组的重点，该工作组包括欧洲精神病学协会、欧洲阿尔茨海默病联合会以及来自欧洲、澳大利亚和北美的专家的成员。
