Along with the aging of the world population, the number of people suffering from dementia is also increasing. Dementia has many types. Dementia of vascular origin takes the 2nd place in terms of prevalence in the world. When we think of vascular dementia, the first thing that comes to mind is cognitive decline. However, it is the non-cognitive disorders that separate further the patient from society and worry the relatives of the patient more. Today, few drugs are recommended for their treatment. But their use is also limited due to side effects. Even according to many studies, no neuroleptics treat these symptoms. Our study compared the effects of olanzapine and quetiapine on non-cognitive symptoms. It was concluded that both drugs treat psychotic symptoms in small doses. The results of the effects of these drugs on other non-cognitive symptoms are presented in our article.
