    Abstract

    The S 3 guidelines Dementia from the DGPPN and DGN represent recommendations that fulfil the highest methodological requirements and are based on a consensus process involving all professional societies, associations and organisations that participate in the management of patients with dementia. From the psychiatric point of view, in particular, the broad representation of the diagnostic processes, the inclusion of modern liquor diagnostics, the comprehensive presentation of psychosocial interventions and the detailed description of psychiatric and behavioural symptoms are unique features. The guidelines provide the foundation for substantial improvement in the management of patients with dementia in Germany.
