Psychotropic drug use is rather common among persons aged 90 years or more diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, compared with those who were diagnosed at younger age, concludes a study conducted at the University of Eastern Finland. Persons aged 90 years or more used antipsychotics five times more often and antidepressants 2.5 times more often than those without the disease in the same age group. The results were published in Age and Ageing.
