What are the diagnostic criteria for dementia according to the DSM-IV TR and the CIE-10?
The DSM-IV TR and the CIE-10 are two manuals that establish diagnostic criteria for mental disorders. The DSM-IV TR considers that a person has dementia when there is a deterioration of short and long-term memory, the presence of some cognitive disorder, and a deterioration of social and occupational activity. The CIE-10 establishes that to diagnose a dementia condition, there must be evidence of memory impairment, demonstrated mainly for the learning of new information, and a deficit in other cognitive abilities such as judgment and thinking. The diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer's disease are based on exclusion and inclusion criteria established by the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke (NINCDS), the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (ADRDA), the DSM IV-TR, and the CIE-10.
