Abstrak

The psychological symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) worsen the quality of life of patients and their partners. However, these non-motor symptoms (mainly anxiety and depression) remain undiagnosed and undertreated in PD. Here, we report the benefits of a 12-week intervention using talking therapy (psychotherapy and counselling). This work was conducted in a group of individuals (people living with PD, and partners) with mild-to-moderate anxiety and depression. We discuss our results in context and conclude that short-term talking therapy should be integrated into PD therapeutics.
