Abstract

Many physical, cognitive and psychological symptoms can be seen in neurological diseases. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder arising from the degeneration of neurons, is characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms. Along with motor symptoms, psychiatric symptoms that are included in non-motor symptoms can also be seen in PD. PD symptoms, genetic predisposition, side effects of pharmacological treatments, psychosocial factors; can cause psychiatric conditions such as anxiety, depression, impulse control disorder, and psychosis. It has been determined that the most common psychiatric disorder in PD is depression, followed by anxiety. Although the presence of psychiatric comorbidities in PD is high, it is often overlooked by clinicians during the diagnosis and treatment process. These factors should be taken into account in the diagnosis process and treatment strategies of Parkinson's patients should be structured in a multifactorial manner.
