Depression associated with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and the effect of somatotherapy

Abstract

A total of 13.8% of patients came to be re-diagnosed as having DLB as a consequence of a thorough examination after admission. Patients with depression associated with DLB were classified into psychotic and non-psychotic clusters. ECT and TMS are effective and safe therapeutic tools for drug therapy-resistant depression observed in DLB patients.
