Diagnosing depression in patients with advanced cognitive impairment may be challenging. The purpose of this study was tofind out how well depression is diagnosed and treated in Dutch nursing homes in relation with age and dementia severity.

Antidepressants were used only in 33.9% of residents with an MDS diagnos
