Behavioral-disturbed elderly patients with dementia are often treated with psychotropic drugs, frequently by doctors who only have sporadic contact with such cases. Knowledge concerning psychotic symptoms and behavioural disturbances in dementia has increased over the past years, as to a certain extent has the number of investigations of psychopharmacological therapy in demented patients.
