Abstract
DEPRESSION AND depression symptoms are common in persons with Alzheimer disease (AD).1-8 When depression symptoms occur just before the development of AD, they may be early symptoms of the dementing process.9-12 What remains unclear is whether depression occurring many years before the onset of cognitive decline is somehow a risk factor for the future development of AD.Keywords
