Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parkinson's disease is often associated with depression. Research has shown that up to 50% of Parkinson's patients experience depression, which can result from the physical and emotional challenges of the disease. While anxiety is also common in Parkinson's patients, depression is a more well-established association. Schizotypal personality and conversion disorder are not typically associated with Parkinson's disease.
