Idiopathic Parkinson's disease and depression: a psychosomatic view
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
|March 1, 1984
Abstract:
The link between idiopathic Parkinson's disease and depression is examined in the light of psychosomatic theory. A view of the condition is offered as a manifestation of chronic emotional disorder in an organic sense. Predisposition arises from bereavement and/or maternal failure in early emotional development.
