OTHER PROBLEMS OF PARKINSON’S

Some people with Parkinson’s disease become severely depressed. This may be due to loss of dopamine in certain brain areas involved with pleasure and mood. Lack of dopamine can also affect motivation and the ability to make voluntary movements.
Early loss of mental capacities is uncommon. However, persons with severe Parkinson‘s may have overall mental deterioration (including dementia and hallucinations). Dementia can also be a side effect of some of the medications used to treat the disorder.
Parkinson’s in children appears to occur when nerves are not as sensitive to dopamine, rather than damage to the area of brain that produces dopamine. Parkinson’s in children is rare.
The term “parkinsonism” refers to any condition that involves a combination of the types of changes in movement seen in Parkinson’s disease. Parkinsonism may be caused by other disorders (such as secondary parkinsonism) or certain medications used to treat schizophrenia.
