Alzheimer's disease: Definition and therapy options

The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy Baltimore, Maryland

The author provides a concise picture of the history of the disease since its description in 1907 and the continued difficulty in diagnosing the disease process before the patient's death. Current pharmacological treatment efforts to treat the disease are dis cussed, with a focus on the treatment of the various episodic symptoms demonstrated by the Alzheimer's patient, including anxiety, depression, agitation, and insomnia. "Despite the progress that has been made in the past decade in understanding the pa thology of Alzheimer's disease, there is still much to learn .... There are no clear an swers."
