The senile dementia consists on a psychic deep, global and progressive deterioration that alter the intellectual alcoholatura features and you disintegrate the social behavior in some old men (on or about in the 4 for 100). The lawsuits of the senile dementia are very diverse. The hereditary factor is the most important. You are families with a precocious deterioration of the mental abilities. They also have your importance the environmental factors, genus of life, toxics, infections, etc., and mainly the fact of being reached the brain by the general involución of the senile organism.

The symptoms are set up gradually, although sometimes, after some illness or psychic important trauma, the previous unstable balance can collapse and to show the symptoms almost suddenly.

The alcoholatura symptoms are the following ones: behavioral disorders; (day little activity, occupations esteriotipadas of the same topics constantly, confusion of memories, insomio, puerility in the whole behavior, among other) memory disturbances; (forfeiture of the uptake memory, that is to say, of proximate facts, and conservation of the evocation memory, that is to say, of old facts; the school infantile automatisms are also remembered) dysfunctions of the language (forfeiture in the elaborated ways of expression or onomastics); constant disorientation in time and later in place; weakening of the judgment and reason; fatiguability and carefulness lábil; dysfunctions of the character (jealousies, avarice, selfishness, intransigence, impertinence, distrust, mistrust, among other); and release of the inferior layers of the legal capacity (for failure of the control mechanisms).

The evolution of the process is progressive, with periods of attenuation and of exacerbation of the symptoms, toward a final state of psychic chaos, being the senile one reduced to a purely vegetative life.

The treatment indicated in these cases is fundamentally medicamentoso (hormone therapy anabolizante and drugs psicotropos, so much antidepression medications, as tranquilizers). They should also be kept in mind the conditions of life of the old demenciado in the socio-economic and environmental sense.
