Psychiatric complaints are common in Parkinson's disease (PD), and have a significant influence in disease outcome and quality of life. Little attention has been paid to psychiatric symptoms at early stage disease. We aimed to screen a population of early stage PD patients for psychiatric symptoms...
There is no cure for Parkinson's disease, a nervous system disorder whose symptoms include muscle rigidity, tremors and changes in speech and gait. Fellow actor Michael J. Fox suffers from the disease. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook explains that depression in people with ...
SYMPTOMSBackground: Non-motor symptoms (NMSs) in Parkinson's disease (PD) are often overlooked and thus can impede clinical management and significantly reduce the patient's quality of life. Aims: The study aimed to determine the burden of NMS in the early stages of PD. Material and Methods...
When your brain cells are damaged in a specific part of your brain, that region can't control your body the way it should. The most common causes of dementia include: Alzheimer's disease Vascular dementia Parkinson's disease Dementia with Lewy bodies Frontotemporal dementia Severe head injury...
Parkinson's disease Dementia with Lewy bodies Frontotemporal dementia Severe head injury Other less common causes include: Huntington's disease Leukoencephalopathies, diseases that affect the deeper, white-matter brain tissue Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a rare and fatal condition that destroys brain tissue...
