Psychosis in Parkinson Disease
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Addiction and Psychology (OAJAP) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Parkinson disease (PD) affects 1 million Americans with the number anticipated to double worldwide by 2030. There is a growing interest in psychosis and Parkinson’s disease [PD], and its impact on treatment. Hallucinations and psychosis occur at any time during the course of Parkinson’s disease. The mechanisms underlying drug-induced psychosis in Parkinson disease are not fully understood. Step-by-step approach and excluding other causes for delirium and psychosis such as infection should be considered.
