Many people with dementia were deprived of care services and time of isolation had a significant negative effect on anxiety and depression in caregivers. The aim of the present study was to analyse the effects of the lockdown on the psychological outcome in caregivers of persons with dementia and on the loss of welfare services in these patients. The anxiety, depression and stress scores of the caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) were compared with those with other forms of dementia using a non-parametric test for independent samples (Mann-Whitney). Regarding the effects of the lockdown on the psychological outcome in caregivers, multiple linear regression showed that education and time spent in isolation had an important role in anxiety and depression.	./cache/cord-340262-5f2o7l16.txt	./txt/cord-340262-5f2o7l16.txt
