Comorbidity of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) and schizophrenia is an uncommon and rare scenario, which often poses a difficult and challenging situation for management. Both the disorders have completely opposite pathophysiology and treatment of one disorder with available pharmacological agents can pose a threat to the other disorder. The situation becomes graver and risk of adverse side effects increases when an individual presents at a later age with both these disorders along with compromised physical and mental health. Of all the available psychopharmacological agents, clozapine has been found to be quite helpful for the management of psychosis without deterioration of existing movement problems of Parkinson's disease. In this case report, we present the case of a 60-year-old female with long-standing paranoid schizophrenia for the last 30 years, who later developed IPD and discuss the various management issues encountered during her treatment.

“…In the literature, there are some studies demonstrating the role of ECT in controlling motor symptoms of PD. The first study describing the use of ECT in the motor symptoms of PD was published in 1947, and since then, it has been suggested in some case reports of patients with PD and comorbid psychiatric illnesses treated with ECT, showing secondary improvement of the motor symptoms [16,17]. In a study of Usui et al, the authors mentioned about a course of ECT producing notable improvements not only in PD associated psychosis but also in the severity of PD.…”

Psychiatric conditions often complicate the outcome of patients affected by Parkinson disease (PD), but they differ from classical psychiatric disorders in terms of underlying biological mechanisms, clinical presentation, and treatment response. The purpose of the present review is to illustrate the biological and clinical aspects of psychiatric conditions associated with PD, with particular reference to the differences with respect to classical psychiatric disorders. A careful search of articles on main databases was performed in order to obtain a comprehensive review about the main psychiatric conditions associated with PD. A manual selection of the articles was then performed in order to consider only those articles that concerned with the topic of the review. Psychiatric conditions in patients with PD present substantial differences with respect to classical psychiatric disorders. Their clinical presentation does not align with the symptom profiles represented by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders and International Classification of Diseases. Furthermore, psychiatry treatment guidelines are of poor help in managing psychiatric symptoms of patients with PD. Specific diagnostic tools and treatment guidelines are needed to allow early diagnosis and adequate treatment of psychiatric conditions in comorbidity with PD.
