Abstract

Aim:

To explore the relation between Parkinson's disease (PD) and depression from a conceptual point of view.

Methods:

Discussion of the relevant literature on the conceptual, phenomenological and therapeutical aspects of depression in Parkinson's disease.

Results:

Both semantic confusion and an erroneous belief in the mind-body distinction have contributed to some common misunderstandings of the nosology and etiology of depression in Parkinson's disease.

Conclusion:

The consequences of a different, integrated, neuropsychiatric approach for both diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
