Dementia to be spotted early on: Dementia is an important diagnosis to consider in the
elderly. A vigorous search for a possible cause of dementia is warranted since
there are significant numbers of reversible conditions. It is important to
exclude the psychiatric conditions that may mimic dementia. Some of the common

schizophrenia. Treatment is aimed at controlling the psychotic symptoms or disturbed
