Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequently associated with depression, impacting patient quality of life.
  • The correlation between depression severity and specific PD clinical characteristics requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of depression in Parkinson's disease patients.
  • To investigate the relationship between depression and key clinical features of Parkinson's disease.

Main Methods:

  • Parkinson's disease diagnosis confirmed using the United Kingdom Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank criteria.
  • Depression status assessed via the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS).

Main Results:

  • Depression was identified in 56% of Parkinson's disease patients.
  • Higher depression rates observed in females (61%) and younger patients (p < 0.001).
  • Depression correlated with longer PD duration (7.7 vs 5.3 years) and greater motor impairment (p < 0.01).

Conclusions:

  • Depression is prevalent in 56% of Parkinson's disease patients, with a notable female predominance.
  • Depression is more common in younger patients and associated with disease duration and motor symptoms.
