He has researched Psychiatry in several fields, including Dementia and Public health. The various areas that George S. Alexopoulos examines in his Depression study include Age of onset and Comorbidity.

The concepts of his Clinical psychology study are interwoven with issues in Psychomotor retardation, Depression of Alzheimer disease and Rating scale. His Internal medicine research integrates issues from Placebo and Cardiology. His Executive dysfunction study incorporates themes from Vigilance, Stroop effect, Supportive psychotherapy, Executive functions and Perseveration.

  • Depression in the elderly (1211 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Psychiatry, Depression, Clinical psychology, Internal medicine and Late life depression. His Psychiatry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Randomized controlled trial and Dementia. His research in Depression focuses on subjects like Physical therapy, which are connected to COPD.

The Clinical psychology study combines topics in areas such as Perseveration and Rating scale. His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as White matter, Endocrinology, Cardiology, Placebo and Nortriptyline.
