Are people with Parkinson disease depressed or demoralized?
People with Parkinson disease who show signs of depression may actually have a condition called demoralization. “The distinction between depression and demoralization is important because the treatment approaches are different,” said study author Brian Koo, MD, of Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, and a member of the American Academy of Neurology. “Demoralization may be better treated with cognitive-behavioral therapy rather than antidepressant medication, which is often prescribed for depression.”
