Abstract

Risperidone is the only antipsychotic currently licensed for the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. Drs Rachis and Shankar describe the case of an elderly man with Alzheimer's disease who developed behavioural symptoms and delusions, who responded well to aripiprazole after treatment with risperidone failed. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
