ABSTRACT
The authors review the literature from the last year examining the benefits of cholinesterase inhibitors in the treatment of behavioral disturbance in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias. Previous review has indicated that cholinesterase inhibitors have psychotropic properties. We found more evidence to support both the benefits of cholinesterase inhibitors in behavioral disturbance, and that specific behaviors may be selectively responsive to treatment.
