Abstrakt		Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are very common among patients with dementia. They are often associated with the indiscriminate prescription of psychotropic medication, especially benzodiazepines and antipsychotics. Therefore, over the last decade, awareness arose world-wide that more rigorous guidelines are necessary pertaining to the prescription and monitoring of medication. The clinical practice of the use of psychotropic drugs for the treatment of agitation in dementia in Slovenia is not always the best. Therefore a suggestion was made that guidelines are needed. The guidelines drawn-up in December 2001 are presented here.
