Compelling and in-depth, this study aims to identify if neuropsychological test instruments can be used both to make an early differentiation between mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) and depression among the elderly and to predict which Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients will convert to AD. Despite considerable progress with regard to the diagnostic work-up of dementia, this volume further explores the important challenge of discriminating early dementia from depression on clinical and neuropsychological grounds. It also examines similar cognitive and affective problems in both mild AD and depressive pseudodementia.
