Abstract:
Very-late-onset schizophrenia-like psychosis(VLOSLP)is considered the most common mental disorder in the elderly following dementia and depression, and its clinical symptomatology is different from that of schizophrenia with onset around the average age.The diagnostic classification system and prognosis of VLOSLP are very complicated, and it is still controversial whether it should be classified as a prodromal symptom of dementia or as a type of late-onset schizophrenia.This article reviewed studies concerning the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, prognosis, and neuroimaging of VLOSLP, hoping to provide value as a reference for future clinical research and treatment.
