Objective To investigate the different manifestations of senile dementia and senile depression, and the significance of their early diagnosis and treatment. Methods 24 cases of senile dementia patients and 26 cases of senile depression patients were treated in different stage, then the curative effects were compared. Results The improved rates of the 24 cases of senile dementia patients after treatment were 81.8% in early-stage, 66.7% in middle-stage and 25% in advanced-stage. The conditions of senile depression were classified into three degrees: mild, moderate and severe according to Hamition's measure chart. The improved rates of 26 cases of senile depression patients after treatment were 100% in mild group, 75% in moderate group and 37.5% in severe group. Conclusions Senile depression and senile dementia are two kinds of common diseases with different causes in elderly people. Both of the diseases simply show neuro-psychological barrier and abnormality in clinical manifestations. There were many similarities in early clinical symptoms, which bring about certain difficulties in clinical differentiation. Early diagnosis and treatment is the only way to improve the life qualities of the elderly people and also the great measure to relieve the pressure of the family and society.
