CLINICAL STUDY OF THE MENTATION, BEHAVIOR AND MOOD DISORDERS IN PARKINSON'S DISEASEAbstract: Introduction: Parkinson's disease is a general invalidating neurodegenerative disease. The impaired non-motor functions are well recognized as part of the clinical course of the disease with great impact over the quality of life of the patients. On the other hand, they are highly unrecognized by clinicians and pose great difficulty in detection and measurement. The UPDRS is widely used to assess and follow up PD patients and Part I is used to assess non motor functions such as mentation, behavior and mood disorders. Therefore, we used it in our study for the assessment of the prevalence of the non-motor symptoms measured by UPDRS Part I in PD patients. Objective: To show that there's high prevalence of mentation, behavior and mood disorders as measured by UPDRS Part I in PD patients. Methods: 293 patients with Parkinson's disease (129 men and 164 women) aged 58-79, randomly picked for an 8-year period (2005-2012) were studied. The study used the following assessment tools: І. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale; Modified Hoehn and Yahr scale for assessment of clinical symptoms; Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living Scale. Statistical methods for processing the data received – SPSS statistics software with analysis of variances and alternates was used. Results: The mentation, behavior and mood functions were studied in 293 patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Lack of motivation/initiative was most frequently observed – in 245 patients (83.6%), followed by depression – in 200 patients (68.2%)and memory disorders – in 199 patients (67.9%). Thought disorder was the least frequent (26.9%). As a result of these disorders all patients had a considerably reduced quality of life mainly due to the development of significant cognitive impairment. Conclusion: This results confirm the observation that mentation, behavior and mood dysfunctions are a highly prevalent and important feature of PD. Therefore, treating physicians should look for them routinely. The UPDRS showed that it is sensitive and reliable tool for detecting such symptomatology.Key words: Parkinson's disease, depression, UPDRS, cognitive impairment

Behavioral disturbances in Parkinson's disease2004 •
Treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) is complex and often involves addressing behavioral changes in addition to the movement disorder. Patients with PD are susceptible to any psychiatric condition seen in the general population; some disorders, such as depression and anxiety, may result from PD-related neuropathological changes. Medicationrelated hallucinations are seen in many PD patients who are treated with dopaminergic agents for motor symptoms. Cognitive impairment is also seen and can be multifactorial. Treatment of behavioral symptoms in PD can greatly improve patients" overall function and quality of life. As surgical interventions to treat motor symptoms, such as deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus of the substantia nigra, become more prevalent, the behavioral effects of these procedures must also be addressed.
