Background: Depression, anxiety and PTSD appear to be linked to dementia, but it is unclear whether they are risk factors (causal or prodromal) for, comorbid with, or sequelae to (secondary effect of) dementia. Existing meta-analyses have examined depression or anxiety in all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD), but have not considered post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), or frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The current meta-analysis examined the risk of developing dementia (AD, VaD, DLB, FTD, all-cause) in people with and without a history of clinically-significant depression, anxiety or PTSD in order to better understand the link between mental illness and dementia (PROSPERO number: CRD42018099872). Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO and CINAHL searches identified 36 eligible studies. Results: There is a higher risk of developing all-cause dementia and AD in people with previous depression, and a higher risk of all-cause dementia in people with prior anxiety, than in persons without this history. Prior PTSD was not associated with a higher risk of later being diagnosed with dementia. Limitations: The data for anxiety, PTSD, DLB and FTD were limited. Conclusions: Depression and anxiety appear to be risk factors for dementia, but longitudinal studies across adulthood (young adult/mid-life/older adult) are needed to evaluate the likely causal or prodromal nature of this risk. The link between PTSD and dementia remains unclear. Regular screening for new onset mental illness and for cognitive changes in older adults with a history of mental illness may assist with earlier identification of dementia.
