Depressive Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease: A Comparison With Disabled Control Subjects

Abstract: A high incidence of depressive symptoms has been observed in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). PD involves a loss of central monoamines, and a decrease of monoamines has been implicated in depression; therefore, it is possible that depressive symptoms in PD result from the loss of endogenous neurotransmitters. However, it is equally possible that depressive symptoms represent a reaction to the chronic disabling course of PD. By comparing depressive symptoms in PD patients to those in matched patients wit… Show more

“…Some studies reported it as positive, while others showed no association. 2,17,19,36,38,49 Overall findings in relation to the prevalence and factors associated for depression in PD, are in keeping what is reported in Asia and western populations. This study showed some unique association of depression with PD such as higher daily dose of levodopa and predominantly involvement in right side.…”

“…9,43,44 Depending on diagnostic criteria used, the estimated prevalence of depression in PD has varied widely across studies, from 2.7% to more than 90%, with an average prevalence of about 30-40%. 3,[10][11][12][13]49 Despite this high prevalence, unfortunately, depression remains frequently under recognized and often undertreated. 14,38 Overlap between symptoms andsigns of depression, with those of PD, may mask diagnosing depression or PD in its early stages.…”

“…Conversely, endogenous depression might occur as a result of the monoamine deficiency that characterizes PD. Patients with PD are more likely to be depressed than patients with other chronic disabling diseases, 721 and depression may predate the onset of motor symptoms. 722 In addition, both dopaminergic and noradrenergic innervation are reduced in several brain regions of depressed compared with nondepressed patients with PD.…”

“…The study was based on a follow-up of 132 cases, and outcome of the study presented a resourceful discussion on depression and disabilities in PD. In another study, the very similar notion of depressive behavior in PD was presented by comparing the equivalent disabilities in control subjects [80].…”
